Re: How to open xterm with and a program at once

[Ian Keith Setford <ians@jove.acs.unt.edu>]

Try $xterm -e mutt &

That should do it.  Also try man xterm for a plethora of other options you
can give to the xterm program.  Might also want to take a look a RXVT.

BTW, the command above is just a beginning, if you need a login shell,
different colors, or title you should get thse parameters from the man
page.
