Hi Salvatore,
Thanks for the extra information. It sounds like it is too specific
for my system, and will not work. The good news is I found out that
Terminal.app behaves the way I want it to (keeps the focus after
spawning an X11 window). Now I just have to come to grips with using
Terminal.app if I choose that route.
Thanks,
Ken Mankoff

I apologize for the delay, but I have to collect some information:
We solve this problem on Linux system by letting follow the
invokation of the X service by a suitable ESC sequence which put
the X window as the foremost/ foreground application.
Can you tell me what ESC sequences you use?
I am interested in being able to programatically move (with shell
commands or AppleScript or anything...) xterms to the front/focus
without having to move the mouse. Is this really possible?
I have been not very precise (in fact I was completely wrong!).
The OS system was a Tru 64 Unix and it was not a ESC sequence but
a real modification of a specified X service (rxvt) including some
native X options/commands to permit the action of putting the X
window in the foremost/foreground position. However it seem very
"system dependent". If you are still interested I can give you
further information or (best) to put in contact with whom make the
actual job.
I have noted that the "Commad + Tab" could do the same as the
X11 application after the invokation of the X service follow the
Terminal application. But which is the code for the "Command"
key ?
It is the one with the apple and 4 leaf clover on it. On my
keyboard it is immediately to the left of the space, and right of
the alt/option.
I realized to not be very clear. What I want to know is the ascii
code for the "command" key not the position on the keyboard.
Thanking
Salvatore
