Subject: 23.1.91; Term mode prints "0;user <at> host:~" before each prompt of an
	interactive SSH session
Date: Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:07:57 -0700

Under GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0, 
NS apple-appkit-1038.25), Mac OS X 10.6.2, Term mode
prints the following prompt during an interactive SSH
session ('ssh host'):

0;user <at> host:~(host:~)$ 

when PS1 is set to '(\h:\W)\$ ' on the remote host. 

The string '0;user <at> host:~' is not displayed when using
another terminal emulator.

    I am closing this bug, it's not a bug in term.el

    Changing the value of TERM is a bad idea, unless you know exactly what
    you are doing.
    
      > 	PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
    
    Using PROMPT_COMMAND is not a good idea, the same thing can be done with
    just setting the prompt.
