Start a Command Prompt and then change the title of it via batch file?

Question

I'm trying to start a command prompt via a batch file, echo some text, and change the title of the command prompt. I'm trying:

start cmd
/k echo This is a terminal
/k title Terminal

The echo text displays, but not the title text.

Answer 1

The TITLE command works for me.

start cmd
TITLE Test
PAUSE

Edit: I believe the syntax for /k is

cmd /k "TITLE Test"

Answer 2

You could use the following:

start cmd /k "echo this is a terminal & title Terminal"

The ampersand allows you to put multiple commands on one command line - see Command shell overview.

Answer 3

Silly me, I've found what I needed.

Doing

start "title here"

will do a title for the wanted program. From there, it is just

start "Terminal" cmd /k echo This is a terminal

If you want to run multiple echos / other commands, do

start "Terminal" cmd /k "echo this is one echo command & echo this is another"

where you separate each command input with &
