I'm running on a linux box and trying to get this simple alias to

I want it to pop a new xterm with the vim editor open.
example input
$ tvim a b c d
A new xterm opens with vim and 4 files in vim's buffers.
alias tvim='xterm -e vim $@'
try that.
That's Bourne shell, but he's apparently using C shell (I think he said

And Bourne shell aliases don't support parameters, so why do you think
your use of $@ would work?
