Spawning new terminal windows from the command line in OpenStep 4.2

Hi all,

Im trying to figure out what the command would be to launch terminal windows from the command line in Open Step 4.2 . (looking for something similiar like /usr/bin/xterm or /usr/bin/dtterm etc)

echo $TERM = vt100

echo $SHELL = /bin/csh

Im combing over alot of OpenStep 4.2 and other apple related docs with little success.

Let me know if anybody needs further info to answer this question any help is appreciated !

EDIT: Im trying to launch new terminal windows not just change shells

okay my bad...

It seemed to be suspicious circumstances. Since that user had only just been created and had no questions submitted on the forums.

I apologize if I assumed too much.


Disregard my post if that other guy wasnt you.
