@TITLE: Current/start-up console title

There is a function SetTitle() which will change the console title, but no corresponding method of getting the existing title.

My plan was:
1) Set the title to a unique string.
2) Use the title to identify this KiXtart process in the task list
3) Set the title back to its original value.

This is fine except there is no way to get the original title.

It's be useful either if SetTitle() returned the old title, or if there was a macro @TITLE which returns the current or start-up title.

I'm a muppet [Embarrassed]

The technique outlined above will only provide the PID of the calling console, not necessarily the KiXtart process - see here for an example.

I complementary to SetTitle() may still be useful though.
