xterm

If you are running under the X Window System on a Unix workstation, the xterm command starts up a new window that acts like a terminal.

To start up a new xterm window:

1. Type this command at a shell prompt:

       xterm&

2. You will get a new window on your display. It should display a shell prompt.
3. To use the new window, move the mouse cursor into the window. You can now type shell commands in this window.
