I used my Remotes application to partially answer your question.  (Remotes
is intended to simplify the management of remote Terminal & Stuart sessions.
Under NeXTSTEP 3.0, it is of questionable value with Terminal due to the new
features provided via Terminal.  It is still useful with Stuart though.)

I enabled debugging on Remotes to dump out a few of the command line
parameters used.  Here's one example:

/NextApps/Terminal.app/Terminal -Shell "/usr/ucb/rlogin pinball"
   -WinLocX 150 -WinLocY 820 -Rows 24 -Columns 80 -NXFixedPitchFont Ohlfs 
   -NXFixedPitchFontSize 13 -Meta 27 -Translate YES -Keypad YES 
   -StrictEmulation NO -Autowrap YES -Scrollback YES -AutoFocus NO
   -SourceDotLogin NO -CustomTitle pinball

If you're not using NeXTSTEP3.0, then don't use the -CustomTitle parameter.
My guess is that *any* defaults data base variable for Terminal can be
tossed onto the command line.  Tinker with the various Preferences options
& check values via "dread -o Terminal" or your favorite way to do so.

I was hesitant to reply to your note since Terminal3.0 can now save (& open)
windows.  I question the value of using command-line parameters under
Terminal3.0.  But, I use Stuart so I don't know all of the quirky things you
can do with Terminal's command-line parms.

Hope this helps.
