I want to add a program that runs in terminal to my blackbox menu-ie have a xterm open with this app in it.
Could anyone tell me the syntax after xterm?

Thanks,
Kuber

The option you want is "-e", eg

xterm -e /usr/bin/vim

Also of interest is "-T", which sets the title of the window (to something other than "xterm"), so you may end up with something like :

xterm -T Vim -e /usr/bin/vim
