I did consider this but expect is overkill for my simple requirement,
I also suspect that it might suffer from exactly the same problem as
my existing solution. I would still want to run it via "rxvt -e
<command>" because I want an automated way to start up a window
logged in to a specific remote system.
One solution/workaround that I may try is to get the shell startup
(.cshrc in this case unfortunately) to detect the login requirement
somehow and have some conditional code wich runs the login code.
