You can't do that. xterm doesn't execute shell commands passed on stdin... It can, however, execute one passed on the command line. Instead of just running xterm, you can run "xterm -e 'cmd foo bar'" where cmd is the program to run and foo and bar are its arguments. The problem is that as soon as the program exits, xterm will exit also. -- Derek D. Martin http://www.pizzashack.org/ GPG Key ID: 0x81CFE75D
