[PD] starting under linux

hi
still, i think xterm -e is (at least for me, alternatively to the usual 
console-way) a way to go. can i add a variable like windowsstyle %1 at the 
end of a script to have a patch loaded, lets say open all *.pd-files by 
default with "mystartscript_for_pd" and open that certain patch?
