I would like to automate the following sequence:

1) Openxtermvia Expect script.

I can get as far as 1) with Perl's implementation of Expect, and as

Libes' book). Any ideas? (P.S. Usingxterm's'-e' option won't work
in this case).

android & xscope for a similar task,
as well as for other things. (In a past life...). 'Just a thought.
