[comp.windows.x] slave xterm

dbainbri@paris.ics.uci.edu (David Bainbridge) (03/16/90)

  I little while ago I saw a posting about slave xterms but passed it up at the
time.  But now I am in need of a xterm that I can make a child of an Athena
widget.  I also need to send commands to the xterm to execute.  Is there any
such beast out there in the for the public, or is the only way to get a slave
xterm of this sort to tweek the existing xterm?



Thanks,
david bainbridge

Is there any way to open an xterm window from inside an application widget
and run vi?  I tried using system("vi") but vi came out on the original
xterm window.  What I need is for the xterm window to pop out on top of 
the widget window so I could use vi as though it is being executed from a
shell.  I would appreciate any comments regarding this matter.
