Resolved:
After a bit more work and lots of good suggestions, I came up with
xterm -e bash --rcfile .myrcfile -i -c "./ticktock && exec bash" &
It does everything I was expecting (assuming your regular .bashrc
doesn't trash the things you set up in the first environment!)
Thanks, all!

If you have the option to modify it, ensure that your script exits via
"exec sh". Alternatively a wrapper that does this is straightforward to
build.
It's looking more and more that I need to make a temporary file that
packages both the init file and the program command line (eval
"blah...")

It's possible to generate temporary files in a secure manner; there's
probably something in the ports collection to generate good, random
file names. I'm not sure I'd go to so much trouble to avoid using
a file for --init-file or --rc-file.
That aside, you could try using expect to script the bas

When I do this, the program works & interacts, but the xterm dies upon
completion of ticktock or INT. I also do not seem to be able to use the
--rcfile switch as a bash option, although I can add KEY=VALUE pairs
before the xterm launch.
Ideas? Please respond to me directly.

Oops. Didn't notice this until after I replied, but I did test

Hey, folks -
I need to find a way to kick off an xterm running BASH and then execute
a program within that xterm, but NOT close the new xterm after the
program finishes. Another desirable thing would be to also be able to
'source in' a file of shell environment that would affect the new window
