tail -f a log file redirected into a new window?

Is this possible? I am attempting to display a new xterm window and tail -f the log file within that new window. I am currently working on a solaris 8 machine if that has any different meaning than the other platforms. As you can see, I am a newbie to this forum and to UNIX. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Choose what information displays on the main window or view devices and volumes information. Choose file domain balance or defragment procedures. Online help is available for all tasks and windows available through the GUI. To access help, click on the Help button in any window or choose Help from the menu bar to display information.
