I think I may be running into a silly bug with xterm.  I am using twm 
under X11R4.  When I invoke xterm with a " -T 'mytitle_here' ", the 
title does not get recorded at the iconmanager.  That is to say, if
I say: 

xterm -T 'foobar' 

I see 'xterm' as the title in the twm iconmanager.  The window title is 
OK (it reads "foobar" as you would expect). Now if I say: 

xterm -T 'foobar' -e csh 

The title at the iconmanager now changes to correctly read "foobar" 
(the window title is also "foobar").

Why do I have to put the "-e csh" at the end of my xterm invocation 
to get the iconmanager to recognize my title ????????????


help!
