Ok well perhaps that was some confusion there as I merely meant that I 
was using putty, but the window title would appear in other programs 
also, not just putty.

I've played about with the PS1 line, I wasn't aware of a PS2 line,

I've done as much as I am able to on my own through trial and error.

This is what appear on fedora
    [screen 0: user@localhost:~]

This is what appears on debian 8
    [screen 0: bash] user@localhost:~

See the difference? i'd like the debian 8 one to be the same as the 
fedora one if at all possible.
I guess this is merely a file change somewhere but I am unable to find 
what I need to change to get it to be the same.
