Sorry, I'm a little lost.  The command xterm -e runs the program that 
follows (here it is dtwrap with arguments ls -l).  I assume that ls -l 
is what you are using here as an example of a possible command I might 
wish to call from xterm, and after it runs, the xterm window stays open 
until I press enter?
