Well, if xterm can do it, you can, too. Of course, xterm is a huge program, so you probably don't want to rewrite it. A quick and dirty way to include a shell in one of your (sub)windows would be to hack xterm to take a window ID as an argument,

Is it possible to open a shell in an X-window, or is the only way to accomplish this to use xterm. if xterms is the only way, how is it poosible to get the window id of the xterms, so it can be reparented. Or better yet how can you set the parent of xterm when it is being created. thanks david. ps. No widgets or toolkit solutions please, as I am not using these. _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | University Of California | dbainbri@ics.uci.edu | | Irvine | | |_______________________________________|_____________________________________|

Maybe David doesn't want a toolkit solution, but I know I would. I have heard that there is an xterm widget, but it's not advertized. Can someone substantiate this and also discuss future support of it? Dan Heller <island!argv@sun.com>

I know of not way to do this with or without a toolkit. There is nothing
on the Core distribution that supports this type of operation, short
of ripping apart xterm to get the code that you would need.
