Help with bash script to open arbitrary # of independent xterms

I run multiple processes that require I pop open multiple xterms, how can I do this in a script and have each xterm colored differently and labled for the servername they represent, for example if I do ssh username@serverip I would need the xterm to be opened with that servername at the top and have it colored differently than the next xterm, the max # of terms I need for now is 6, but sometimes its 3 or 4, 5. Can anyone help with this.Smilie

NAME
shownonascii - View all or part of a mail message in a non-ASCII font SYNOPSIS
shownonascii charset-font-name [-e command-to-execute] file-name(s) DESCRIPTION
The shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII character sets to be viewed under X11. By default, it will open up an xterm using the font named in the first argument, running the "more" command to view all of the files named on the command line. If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line will be taken as the command to tell xterm to run instead of more. If the MM_CHARSET environment variable is set and matches the character set named in the first argument, a new xterm window will not be opened. If the MM_AUXCHARSETS environment variable is set the character set named in the first argument is a subset of that string, a new xterm window will not be opened. SEE ALSO
