[ale] Easy one for the scripters

[johnmills at speakeasy.net (John Mills)]

ALErs -

I want a script to launch a console app in terminal window (such as an 
Xterm). I want the terminal to stay open with a shell prompt when its app 
exits. Actually I'm going to launch a batch of different apps -- if I can 
get the syntax right for one of them.

'xterm -e <command> &' doesn't do what I want because it exits when the 
command completes instead of leaving a shell prompt running in the 
terminal.

BASH would be nice.

TIA for suggestions.

(It's not homework, honest! &8-)
