I try the following program to launch xterm, but the xterm window immediately disappears.

psxrun -u /usr/X11/bin/xterm

This is very similar to the example given in the documentation. This would be very nice if I could run this command from "Start | Run" to open an x program.

Notes:
% which xterm
/usr/X11/bin/xterm

X server:
Starnet Desktop-X v2.0

Thanks...

Try:
psxrun -u /bin/ksh -l -c "/usr/X11R5/bin/xterm"

/usr/X11/bin/xterm is an X11R6 version, introduced in SFU3.5
and is broken. You have to use the X11R5 version.
