I'm not clear what you're trying to do, as I cannot load your project 
fully or compile it due to the absence of cmdbox, LCLBase and FCL 
packages on my system, but you need to remove line 206 " 
Terminal.Execute;  " from fMain. Your GTKTerm should then work as a 
normal embedded shell.

The command 'Execute' is used when the terminal has been created with a 
command as parameter - see explanatory notes at line 41 of VTETerminal.pas

I'm not sure if it is possible to execute more than one command remotely 
on the same terminal - closer examination of the GTK VTETerminal 
documentation would probably provide this information.
