Xterm Standard Out Redirection to another Xterm

Hi Again :)

May I ask if anyone know how to redirect output to any xterm from a window (another xterm)? Is there a command or redirection symbol specific for this? The man page for xterm does not help much with one paragraph of description.

man xterm
...
-Sccn

This option specifies the last two letters of the name of a pseudotermnal to use in slave mode, plus the number of the inherited file descriptor. The option is parsed ``%c%c%d'. This allows xterm to be used as an input and output channel for an existing program and is sometimes used in specialized applications.
...

Please drop me a note if you have already done this or know a way to do this with the xterm and exec command. Thank you.

Regards,
Ben
