That should be OK so long as d.m doesn't spawn any interactive
commands (or it spawns them in their own xterm). However, it will
result in d.m having its stdin set to a file (i.e. the d.m script)
rather than to the terminal. Consequently, any commands which d.m
spawns will also have their stdin set to that file.
