alias black='xterm -cr red -ms blue -ls -rw -sb -sk -sl 200000 -T
"SERVER1" -bg black -fg white -vb -fn courr14 -geometry 70x30 &'

I want execute telnet command with xterm so that i don't have to type
telnet xyz
in new window.
I googled and found something like this

xterm -e telnet SERVER2

This works fine if i issue this command from the command line. But
when i put into alias it doesn't work. Just for a moment new xterm
window appears and then  disappears.

alias black='xterm -e telnet SERVER2 -cr red -ms blue -ls -rw -sb -sk
-sl
200000 -T "SERVER1" -bg black -fg white -vb -fn courr14 -geometry
70x30 &'

What's wrong with the above alias?

it runs telnet SERVER2 -cr red -ms ... in xterm.
Put the "-e" option last.

Note the "resource" mechanism in the xterm man page if you don't
want to issue all those options each time.

How to get automatically login into the remote machine. The username
and password is same for all the machines.
My idea is to just issue one command (alias) and it will open a new
xterm window and login into the new server
