[comp.windows.x.motif] Process ID's in the Console Window

jfp@inel.gov (07/18/90)

I have a question about mwm directing process id's to the console window.
I have a menu in my .mwmrc file that is set up for remote logins to other
machines on the LAN.  Here is a portion of the menu:

Menu RemoteLoginMenu
{
    "Remote Logins"     f.title
    no-label            f.separator
    "xterm"             f.exec "xterm -sb -T XTerm &"
    no-label            f.separator
    "Gem"   !"xterm -sb -bg turquoise -fg black -T Gemstone -e rlogin gem &"
    "Cray"  !"xterm -sb -bg turquoise -fg black -T Cray -e rlogin cray &"

    "Cray"  !"xterm -sb -bg turquoise -fg black -T Cray -e rlogin cray &"
.

Here's how I set up the initial xterm in my .xinitrc file:

xterm -j -sb -geometry +1+1 -C

The problem is, whenever I choose one of the Remote Login choices from
the RemoteLoginMenu, I get a job id and process id (i.e.,  [1] 2464)
displayed in the console window, regardless of what I am doing.  I have
used this same menu approach with twm and have no id's displayed in the
console window.  Did I miss something in the man page or is there a 
workaround?  Thanks...
