After much searching on the good ol' internet I could find nothing, so this is the result.
ALthough many people seem to have asked this question no-one seems to have a solution so here we go.
I need for AudioScope.sh, 'xterm' to run a second program for some of its calibration using the same machine.
'xterm' no longer exists on OSX 10.12.x Sierra, it can be installed but it is unavailable on a virgin OSX Sierra install.
Hence the code below.
Place it into your '$HOME' drawer and call as per the code comments.
Remember to change the access rights before you go.
This incarnation is called 'NewCLI', anyone remember that? ;oD
But you could just as easily name it 'xterm' if you wish. I have both in my '$HOME' drawer.
Enjoy...

I looked all over and not a reference like that could I find. Perhaps it is my searching method that needs polishing... ;o)
However thank you for enhancing my knowledge further.
Both methods are equally useful for my needs...
EDIT:
The '-g' switch was needed for my application to place it into the background and keep focus on the original terminal...
Thanks.

I am using Terminal on an OSX system to access and edit crontab files on a 'headless' Solaris 11 server. Crontab -e on OSX invokes vi as the editor, which is fine, but I am getting unexpected characters on keystrokes and have to abort the edit. If this is an emulation issue, would someone please...

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to log back in to unix after logging out. I have a MBPro. If I don't have the window close after exiting, then there is the phrase 'process completed' in brackets with a blinking cursor, but I can't type anything in.

For a long time, when I type man anything on my Mac, both the manpage header fonts and the background was black, so I had to use my mouse to highlight the manpage output to read it. It was really annoying.
The problem was the same both locally or using the terminal and going ssh somewhere.
