I use xterm rather than Terminal as my primary terminal, along with  
tcsh as my shell.  For now I'm using Locomotive to start a Terminal  
window and then manually running an xterm as a child, but since this  
is a bit clunky the following questions come to mind:

1) how hard would it be to add support for launching xterm (or other  
terminal programs) directly to Locomotive?
2) would it be possible for Locomotive to generate a non-temp version  
of the environment file it tells the shell to run (e.g. /private/var/ 
tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/AF9DEB33-A7FC-4C07- 
ABEF-389572F1F2CD-1486-000045277FB4AAFC.environment.csh)?  For  
example an "Export environment script" command that lets you specify  
the type of shell and where to save the file.  This could then be  
sourced manually in whatever terminal someone desires to use.
