You already have it...

a) You have to create an '/usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles' file and put the
name of your display in it.  My display here is 'dsndata:0.0', so
i did 'echo dsndata >> /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles' to create the file
from ksh.

b) Start a hpterm process from your ~/.x11start file with the
   '-C' option... See the man page on hpterm for more info...
    My ksh startup line in ~/.x11start is:

hpterm -display $DISPLAY -C -iconic -title KSH -geometry 80x24+1+1 $@ &


The only gotcha is that each time you start/kill a hpterm shell
with the  -C flag, you get a console message...  you'll see...

I did a quick look at the manual page for xterm and it shows
the '-C' tag as well... good luck.


Cheers
