I use rsh to start  a remote xterm from a SUN.  I was given the magic 
incantation by a real UNIX person (I'm not).  Here's what I do:

In my .cshrc I create an alias for the real command.

alias x11 '/usr/bin/X11/xterm -d IPADRS:0 -title SYSTEM -n SYSTEM -sb -ls
 -sl 250 -cu -fn 9x15 -geometry 80x32+215+330 >/dev/null</dev/null &'

My application command is rsh/user=kellym SYSTEM x11

I don't know why all the redirects & single quotes are there, but I know it
works.
