OK :-)  
A little more information.
Let's say I have 50 xterms open, 19 of which are "special" for the moment, meaning they have been started with a specific purpose in mind.  In my case they are router consoles started with a bash script line by something like:
xterm $xtermopts -T 'otto 172.18.194.167' -e telnet $commserver 2019 &
What is the easiest way to classify this xterm window from another xterm so with a function I can gather all my router consoles into one desk and cacade them?  
thanks
