The command below will run an xterm in the background; in the xterm the shell will launch texexec and then launch "read", which waits for you to hit enter so that the xterm doesn't immediately vanish: xterm -e sh -c 'texexec --help; read input' & You could create a simple Bourne shell script as a wrapper: #! /bin/sh # x-texexec xterm -e sh -c "texexec $*; read input" & ... where "read input" makes the window stay open until you hit enter. -- --Ed Cashin integrit file verification system ecashin@coe.uga.edu http://integrit.sourceforge.net/
