How do I use xterm to print a message in the window , not just in the title?

Right now I have:

xterm -rv -sb -title "The RMAN Backup was Successful!!!"

How do I print a big bold message is the box? I am using this in a Korn Shell script on Solaris 10.

thanks.

xterm -title "press return to close this window" -geometry 60x1 -bg black -fg yellow -fn "*-24-240-*" -e ksh -c "printf 'The RMAN Backup was Successful !!!  ';read foo"

or better:

zenity --info --text="The RMAN Backup was Successful!!!"

Do you want an xterm with a message for the purpose of a message or for some other reason? If it's just for a message, you might use xmessage instead.
