Ah, well, since my application is a desktop tool and it requires a GUI I'm
doing something like this:
However, I have to then force the user to use xterm (which is a popular/common
X Terminal)

# launch the windows cmd.exe with the command
...

# warn the user that xterm is required and then launch xterm
