export script commands with xterm

I am attempting to write a shell script that runs a program which generates data and then runs another program to plot the data. The problem is that I need the plotting to take place in a different terminal window that stays open after the plotting has finished. I have experimented 'xterm -e ' which does work except that the plotting window does not stay open. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Is the plotting program generating a window or ASCII text data?

Can you show us your script so far?
