xterm must have an xserver to display to, otherwise it will give an error. If you do have a valid xserver, don't forget to pause the command somehow, otherwise the window will disappear again once the command completes. For example, try:

Hello,
I would like to send via a shell script a command to my XTerm.
For instance, I would like a shell script of mine to perform the command "clear-saved-lines()" to my Xterm.
Indeed, I don't want to use /usr/bin/clear but a command that erases everything in my xterm.
Thank you,

I like using VIM with color tagging (using putty to SunOS). However, when I do an "export TERM=xterm-color", I can't make use of the clear command. Clear just has the same effect as pressing enter now. How can I fix this?
Also, does anyone know how to get the directories and file colors... (6 Replies)
When running MC in xterm or gnome-terminal, it doesn't seem to allow the use of Ctrl-enter and Ctr-shift-enter to copy marked files to the command line.
Does anyone know of another way to cause this to happen or a way to enable it under xterm/gnome-term?
With thanks,

lxterm(1) General Commands Manual lxterm(1)NAME
lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm
SYNOPSIS
lxterm [ xterm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
lxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm, koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's locale
setting. All arguments to lxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should not be specified because
they are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm. See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.
The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character set used by the current locale. If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked;
if the character set is KOI8-R, koi8rxtem is invoked; otherwise, 'plain' xterm is invoked.
