I use
	xterm -ls -sb -sl 10000  -name ...   -title ... ...
-ls	= login shell - make the shell running in the new xterm 
window a login shell that reads .profile etc.
-sb	= scroll bar
-sl <n>	= no. of scrolback lines = <n>
-name	set the contents of the title bar and name of the icon
-title	(if you can iconise rather than dock on minimise)
