[ale] Easy one for the scripters

ALErs -
I want a script to launch a console app in terminal window (such as an
Xterm). I want the terminal to stay open with a shell prompt when its app
exits. Actually I'm going to launch a batch of different apps -- if I can
get the syntax right for one of them.
'xterm -e <command> &' doesn't do what I want because it exits when the
command completes instead of leaving a shell prompt running in the
terminal.
BASH would be nice.
TIA for suggestions.
(It's not homework, honest! &8-)
