    Does anyone have any idea how to create an xterm subwindow within
    an application that will run any type of command I want?

xterm isn't really sufficiently widgetized (yet) to make this easy.

    Is there a "stencil" like function so I can XPutImage or XCopyArea
    an XImage or Pixmap onto a drawable and have it be stenciled thru
    another bitmap or XImage?

Yes, but using the bitmap as a clip-mask in the GC.  But, if the bitmap
is fairly complex, your R2 server may dump core.  (You can change
Region's numRects and size to longs to fix this, which is the way it
will be in R3.)  Also, as currently implemented, it will be rather
slow.
