Toss up on wheter this is a Unix or X question.

All of our modems are on one host.  I am working on a Xview program that
uses walking menus of sitenames in combination with a function.  I then 
pass this info to xterm.  This doesn't work with the function tip. I get back
the message tip: must be interactive. From a regular xterm on that host 
tip works fine as usual.  How can I fool tip so that it will think "xterm -e 
hostname tip site" is interactive?

Thanks!  (email responses preferred)
