Normaly I'd say "read the man page" however since we dont have man pages, heres the url http://linux.die.net/man/1/xterm Now the the harder part may be applyying this to the recently butchered version of xterm (if what we had before was the advanced version is this the ******ed one?)

Well, a faster way to pipe is to press and hold " ! " key and move your stylus up and release in a quick motion. You can do this with all keys on the on screen keyboard for different actions. Try left and right motion as well. Enjoy

What do I need to enter for pipe? I've tried various things, many of which kill xterm. Is there a list somewhere for the magic <> values to use with this toolbar? Like "KP_Enter" - apparently that's ENTER, but how do I know that?
Thank you for the help.

x-term:
Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Toolbar shortcut -> New
Title: Bar
Value: bar
This will give you a new soft button that, when pressed, will print '|'
There are 1200+ characters for which you can create shortcuts -- things like umlauts, caps locks, and what not. Here is how to use them:
Look at this file:
http://olya.com/maemo/keysyms.c
The value you want to use in toolbar settings is the part after GDK_. So for a ')' you would use 'parenright'.
Hope this helps. Took me a while to figure this out.

The good thing about the stylus motion trick is that you will not have to assign shortcuts to all your symbols. Press and hold a key and moving up your stylus (Note: Motion trick must be done under a second) will simulate a " shift " to the key you pressed.

Press & hold while moving " <direction> " then releasing:
UP = Shift
DOWN = Enter
RIGHT = Spacebar
LEFT = Backspace
I hope this helps.

I'm wondering if there is any way to assign a command
to the toolbar?
It looks like you can't assign a string of characters though.
One trick is to put an alias in .bashrc. I have "s" aliased
to "ssh -X user@othercomputer" and then the string
"s KP_Enter" gives a toolbar button that generates my
ssh command ...
But good old user does not have a .bashrc file so I can't use
this trick for the "sudo login root" command.
(I tried making a .bashrc file in /home/user but it had no
effect - don't know why)
So, is there any way to assign commands to the toolbar?
