Particularly with a long man page like the one for xterm. Yes, I did look at
the man page, but I clearly missed seeing the hold paramater. So thanks for
pointing it out. It may come in useful elsewhere too. :-)
However, for menuToolsConsole, what I think Stani is trying to do is get an
interactive login terminal. This, as far as I can tell, is still
incompatible with using -e, but perhaps there is some magic way of doing that
too.
Cheers,
Rasjid.
