Try 'man dtterm' or 'man xterm' if the former is not available. This should
get you started. It's been a while since I've done what you want, but there
should be an option that lets you start a terminalwindow and execute a
command in it. Dtterm and xterm have mostly the same options, I believe.
Xterm -h (or dtterm -h maybe) might show some of the options aswell.

would be to use "Create Actions" located in your Applications Folders on you
DeskTop Manager. By choosing an icon,
then entering your script lcoation for execution to be run as Xwindows, then
save, an icon is created in your home folder. The icon can be moved to your
desktop and will execute your script in a dtterm.
If that's not suitable then use "dtterm -e script"; the location of dtterm
should be in your PATH like xterm.

With any type of xterm work-alike (like dtterm), you can use the '-e'
switch to specify a process to be run in the session. Once the process
is finished, the terminal closes.
So, you would have to write 2 different scripts, the master & the
slave.
<=master=>
#!/bin/ksh
dtterm -e slave &
exit 0
<==>
<=slave=>
#!/bin/ksh
while true; do
(many other useful commands...)
done
exit 0
<==>
Then you would run the master script.
