i want to create a autostart .desktop file to start a xterminal running a script

is this correct at all?
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Me
Exec=xterm --geometry 850x600+85+70 file:/path/to/my/script
Type=Application/x-executable
Icon=none
Terminal=1

can someone please tell me if this is kinda correct?
thank you

I don't know much about .desktop file syntax, but it looks like the Exec line is incorrect.
To open a particular file in an x terminal, use "-e /path/to/my/script"
