Hi -

My intent is to open a new urxvt window, and in that window, open several tabs.
Each opened tab runs a command (ls, vim, etc...).

> IMHO tabs are a component of the window-manager.

Since extensions can control tabs _inside_ urxvt (tabbbedex, for example,
has a 'new_tab' subroutine), tab creation could be triggered
by an extension as well, right?

My questions are:
1.) How to create a new tab? And; 2.) How can a command be sent to the tab?

So in theory, it could be something like:

$new_tab = tabs->create_new_tab(...); # create a new 'tab' object

$cmd = ... # the command could be anything: ls, vim, a shell script, etc.
$new_tab->send_command($cmd); # send the command to the tab

I was wondering if this could be done with the existing
Perl-driven functionality of urxvt. (DBUS is magical, it is true.)

Thanks for your notes, Raphaël. Hopefully my intent is clear now, too.

P.S. Apologies to Raphaël for emailing twice -- forgot to 'Reply All'
the first time.
