This page had all the instructins I needed, thanks!

If someone is interested, this is what I added to my .cshrc file:
#
# sets x-term titlebar
#
set HOSTNAME=`hostname -s`
switch ($TERM)
    case "xterm*":
        alias precmd 'echo -n "\033]0;$cwd\007"; echo
"\033]30;${HOSTNAME}\007\c"'
        breaksw
endsw

(The second 'echo' sets the shell name, which appear in the little tab.)

Thanks a lot guys!
