<ul>
This invokes a terminal tool with some predefined options
so that the default behavior of ther window is a little more
user-friendly. For example, for the X Windows tool, xterm,
the option "-ut -n" are invoked (see "man xterm" for a description
of these options).

<br><br>

We also modify the window name so that each window has a unique
index. This index is tracked using a file located in a user's
home directory (see below).
