Because of the familiarity from linux days, I had liked using xterm. Is ther any real reason why one would prefer xterm in mac os x over Terminal? I have a new question: How does one invoke the programs on the dock from command line? Using "man open", I found that commands of the form "open -b bundle_identifier" would work for the programs that come with mac. For example, "open -b com.apple.Safari" can be used to open Safari from the command line. But I can't figure out the bundle_identifier of other programs. I recently installed carbon emacs and adobe reader and I would like to call them from command line. Thanks.
