Hi Didier,
Check out the e-<scripts> first. They open the eterm window which then calls
the script that does all the work. I link the e-scripts to my /usr/local/bin
folder and keybind them in e.
I have attached two scripts, one mirroring (does my backups to a network drive)
script and the alarm script. Check out the mirroring one first - it's simpler so
easier to follow initially, but doesn't do the input reads like the alarm one does,
which is what you're after.
Luck :)
Daniel.

I currently do something similar with Eterm and bash scripts that could be
adapted to a generic 'run'.
My scripts pop up an Eterm in the middle of the desktop,
asks the user for Alarm clock time settings, resets cron (I use it to
start an oggy play of Rammstein at the specified time), then
closes itself automatically. It's also keyed into a keyboard shortcut via
keybindings.cfg.
You could probably do something similar by asking for a command, run the command in the background and then have it close itself automatically.
Can pass on a couple of examples if you like.
If you have some scripts at hand, it would be instructive to have a look. Yeah I like it! Thanks.
With kind regards,
Didier.
