Does "set guitablabel" require scripting? (Virtually all examples seem to imply that it does…)

I've been trying to figure out how to change how Vim labels tabs. Everywhere I turn for information contains Vim script examples. This has led me to believe that "set guitablabel" can only be used via scripts(?)

At present, Vim labels tabs with a file name prefaced with a "path code" of the form "\P\M\M\F\R\F\R\T", where each character is the first character of a folder name on the path. Ugh!

In an effort to get rid of the path info, I tried using (without the quotation marks) ":set guitabel=%t" This has no effect.

So I went out looking for more help. But everywhere I've gone, "set guitablabel" is used within a script. Is scripting really necessary? Or is my problem that I'm formatting the ": set guitablabel" command improperly? Or?

Cheers & thanks,
