RE: [h-e-w] full pathname in title bar

[Underwood, Jonathan]

This is what i have in my .emacs which does i think what you want.

;; Set the frame's title. %b is the name of the buffer. %+ indicates the state
;; of the buffer: * if modified, % if read only, or - otherwise. Two of them to
;; emulate the mode line. %f for the file name.
(setq frame-title-format "Emacs: %b %+%+ %f")
