not working Smilie

---------- Post updated at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:27 AM ----------

finally my script run after i added it to .dtprofile but i faced another problem.
in fact my script echo a msg and wait for the user to enter a specific file name as a parameter if this parameter is not entered correctly the script will kill the session.
it's working fine with telnet from .profile but xmanager don't show the echo msg and don't wait for the user to enter the right parameter and then kill the session
any help with this complicated issue ????
thank you all for ur time and help

You will need to launch a terminal window to ask the question in, e.g.:
Code:
dtterm -e /patch/to/script_that_asks_question
