Oh, btw., this only works with tcsh for me if the shortcut is run xterm -e /bin/tcsh -l In that case xterm calls `luit -- /bin/tcsh'. Or, it works to call `xterm -ls' from a Cygwin shell. However, it still behaves weird if the shortcut is run xterm -ls or if you start `xterm -ls' from a cmd shell. This results in xterm calling luit -argv0 -tcsh which in turn starts /bin/sh with argv[0] set to "tcsh". This looks somehow like a bug in xterm.
