<p>If we set the Run command (let it be so dull, heh):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>xterm -e /home/me/sh1 $2 $3 "%s"<br>
and press F5, all we get in xterm is:<br>
%s</p>
</blockquote>
<p>xterm runs the command in a shell, which substitutes $2 and $3 with nothing since they are undefined.</p>
<p>The other problems may be variations of this I suspect or of the several levels of command encoding/decoding that occur.</p>
