Ah, but what you really want is the ability to point a random editor at
a window that you already have in your hand! xmh (or any other program)
should be able to invoke xemacs, xvi, xed, or xteco with a window id and
say 'go to it, use this as your screen resource, tell me when you're
done working on this file'. Just starting up a new xterm isn't good enough.
