scripting btdownloadcurses.py


I would like to write a shell script for BitTorrent that opens bittorrent in an Eterm, so I can tell Firefox to open all my torrent files with that script. Here is what I tried (simplified):

#!/bin/sh
Eterm -e btdownloadcurses.py $1

The problem is that once Eterm runs that command, my script exits. I'll click on a torrent file, Firefox launches it with the script, an Eterm pops up, and then it immediately disappears. How can I tell my script to keep the Eterm open?

A few months ago I used to use a little script that was:

Code:
screen /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 8 $1
But since I upgraded to FC3 it hasn't worked the same. BT crashes a lot, often at startup.

Working on a new solution now.
