Hi All,
In my work i need to access many servers. Each time i use the
following alias to create a xterm window and then do telnet.

alias black='xterm -cr red -ms blue -ls -rw -sb -sk -sl 200000 -T
"SERVER1" -bg black -fg white -vb -fn courr14 -geometry 70x30 &'

I want execute telnet command with xterm so that i don't have to type
telnet xyz
in new window.
I googled and found something like this

xterm -e telnet SERVER2

This works fine if i issue this command from the command line. But
when i put into alias it doesn't work. Just for a moment new xterm
window appears and then disappears.

alias black='xterm -e telnet SERVER2 -cr red -ms blue -ls -rw -sb -sk
-sl
200000 -T "SERVER1" -bg black -fg white -vb -fn courr14 -geometry
70x30 &'

What's wrong with the above alias?

Tx
Ajay
