One way is to create a file, say, foo which contains the following:

----cut here; start of foo----
#!/bin/sh
demo2 input/sentences_1 < input/numbers_1
----cut here; end of foo----

Then make sure that the execute bit on foo is set so
that foo is a proper executable shell script. Then do:

xterm -name DEMO -title DEMO -e foo


By the way, 14 lines is a bit long for a .signature; please
trim it.

Ciaran.
