rxvt -e or xterm -e question

Hi Bill,
You could always tell the shell to wait for input. Thus, try something like:

xterm -e zsh -c 'ls -lt; read ANSW\?"God you are slow. Are you done yet? "'

You could of course simply tell the shell to sleep but I assume that you would prefer that it wait for you, since you read so slowly.

Try the -hold flag. From the 'xterm' manpage:
<pre>
-hold Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately
destroy its window when the shell command completes. It will
wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the win-
dow, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal, e.g.,
HUP or KILL.
