Thanks to Nathan for the following URL:


I've customized it to the following to get (approximately) what I'd like.
It's so close that I'll call it a success and stop procrastinating. ;)

# Script to set title of terminal window
if [ "$TERM" = "Eterm" ]
then
   label ()  { /bin/echo "^[]2;$*^G"; }
   alias stripe='label ${PWD#$HOME/}'  
   alias stripe2='label $*'

   cds () { 
      if [ -z "$1" ]
      then    
         "cd"    
      else    
       "cd" $* 
      fi      
      eval stripe; 
   }

   vistripe () { eval stripe2; "vi" $*; }
   viistripe () { eval stripe2; "vi -c \":set textwidth=0\"" $*; }
   alias cd=cds
   alias vii=viistripe
   alias vi=vistripe

else
   alias vii="vi -c ':set textwidth=0'"
fi # end of the check for Eterm
