lol.......sir!
x-terminal is like a dos prompt in windows. you cant save things like a word editor. but you can create scripts to make repeating the task easier.
in x-terminal you litterally type the command in and hit enter. it then runs the command you type in, or throws up an error.

When you try running a command, if it does not work it will post an error message. hard to help without any details

well im a newbie and everything in the first page helped me. first you have to get the tools:
open xterminal
type:
apt-get install gstreamer-tools
after that type:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! autovideosink
it will pause for a min then it will come on.
hopefully soon we can get a real webcam app that can initiate the front cam instead of all these damn work arounds. lol would be nice to have one with cam settings like resolution and brightness.
hope i helped. this is what worked for me
open xterminal
type:
apt-get install gstreamer-tools
after that type:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! autovideosink
it will pause for a min then it will come on.

then it shows gst-launch: not found
I don't have rootch installed and i have version 3.2010.02-8.002. I believe that's PR 1.2, right?
What am i doing wrong here?

Ok that is pr 1.1.1 (Healthcheck should tell you that!!)
PR1.2 is not out yet, apart from in the SDK.
if GST-launch is not found then you do not have gstreamer tools installed correctly,
I would suggest that once you are comfortable, install rootsh from extras and follow the above commands.

From the Application Manager, install the "rootsh" package.
Then open X-Term, type "sudo gainroot"
Now type "apt-get install gstreamer-tools"

Now you need to retry this command in x-terminal
Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! autovideosink
