I also noticed the same in node "10.1.3 Setting up your prompt for shell titles":

> set prompt='^[[0000m^[k^[\% '
> set prompt="%{\ek\e\\%}\% "

Hello,

The issue is in node "2 Getting Started", which says:

> Before you begin to use `screen' you'll need to make sure you have
> correctly selected your terminal type, just as you would for any other
> termcap/terminfo program.  (You can do this by using `tset', `qterm',
> or just `set term=mytermtype', for example.)


If this is referring to the value usually found in $TERM, then maybe "set term=mytermtype" should be replaced with "export TERM=mytermtype"

Or maybe this is a typographical issue, and the expected text was "or just set `TERM=mytermtype'".

Thanks!
