Programming :: Write A Bash Script To Call From A Terminal?

I am trying to write a bash script to call from a terminal that will change the terminal title. I am using ubuntu 10.04. The script is meant to be used in the gnome-terminal.

Here is what I have:

Code: #! bin/bash
echo "New title: c"
read title
echo "33]0;$titl07c" -e

[Code]....

it doesn't work

I think the problem has to do with modifying PS1 inside the bash so i tried this:

Code: echo `export PS1="[e]1;u@h:wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ "` and it still didn't work.
