Your right i should have posted and request this thread be deleted. After looking at the other forum I thought this thread was more appropriate for the Shell programming forum.

Yes I am using dtterm but now that I know about the xterm -e properties perhaps I can go in that direction. I had wanted to use dtterm purely for aesthetic preferences

Thank you for consulting the man pages for dtterm for some reason my system doesnt have an entry for dtterm or xterm. (I tried man dtterm and man /usr/dt/bin/dtterm, any suggestions? )

Ill try the xterm -e option and see what happens.
