Look, do some commands to find a terminal programs on your unix:
Code:
ls /usr/bin|grep term
ls /usr/bin|grep rxvt
ls /usr/bin|grep console

Just then you can type: /usr/bin/$term -e "vi"
option "-e" is "execute command". Smilie
There is no /usr/bin/term (or any other terminal in /usr/bin) in Solaris 9, except maybe gnome-terminal if gnome is installed, so the OP cannot use that.

/usr/dt/bin/dtterm is "standard" terminal, if using -e the command should be enclosed in quotes if it is more that one word, also it is best to give the full path to the command you want to run.

NAME
plot - graphics filters SYNOPSIS
plot [ -Tterminal [ raster ] ] DESCRIPTION
These commands read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard input, and in general produce plotting instructions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard output. If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see environ(5)) is used. Known terminals are: 4014 Tektronix 4014 storage scope. 450 DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism). 300 DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism). 300S DASI 300S terminal (Diablo mechanism). ver Versatec D1200A printer-plotter. This version of plot places a scan-converted image in `/usr/tmp/raster' and sends the result directly to the plotter device rather than to the standard output. The optional argument causes a previously scan-converted file raster to be sent to the plotter. FILES
/usr/bin/tek /usr/bin/t450 /usr/bin/t300 /usr/bin/t300s /usr/bin/vplot /usr/tmp/raster SEE ALSO
plot(3), plot(5) BUGS
There is no lockout protection for /usr/tmp/raster. PLOT(1G)
