OK, it starts out this way :
[b...@hbsk2 ~]$ rpm -ql Terminal
/usr/bin/Terminal
/usr/bin/terminal
/usr/libexec/TerminalHelp
/usr/share/Terminal
[....]

[b...@hbsk2 ~]$ ps aux | grep -i terminal | grep -v grep

... And sure enough, it pops up behind the gnome terminal. So it
still looks to me as if what I have,
Terminal alpine -url %s
should work; but I admit I don't know what either that "-url" or the "%s"
is doing there ...
