	This is a very inefficient way of doing things. The X Window buffers
ar far more numerous than the equivalent rsh buffers as far as I know.
Try the following:

	"xterm -e rlogin remotehost"

	This will also solve your problem with hanging processes. Resize
will still work if your display is set correctly.
