sorry, neither of those will work in blackbox. If you always open a term with the same options (and never any other options) just follow that term's directions for edting .Xdefaults or the like. Otherwise, put the options in a shell script and have blackbox launch the script. Also, this would probably be better answered on the blackbox list than here in debian-user.
