[SLL] launch xterm from a browser

[Ted Stern]

I'm supporting a group of people who have some enormous files located
on a central server.  It is impractical to copy files locally, and
anyone who wants to interact with them has an account there anyway.

The pathnames are long and convoluted, and I'd like to make the
process a little easier for them.

The effect I'm after is to launch a terminal something like this:

   xterm -e "ssh -X host 'cd /remote/dir; export TERM=xterm; $SHELL -i'"

More specifically, I'm putting this into a MoinMoin wiki, so I might
be able to create a macro to shorten the syntax a bit.

What about embedding the terminal into the browser?  Is that possible?
