Text to command line

I'm not sure if this is where this question belongs, but, here goes...

Is there a way to have text that redies in a file be transferred to the 
command line (ei. I'm running tcsh, if that makes any difference), so
it may be executed?

For instance, in my .xinitrc file, (definitions file for starting X),
I have the following line:


	/usr/bin/X11/xterm -geometry 125x35+220+175 -fn 8x13 +ls -sb -n Rn 
	-iconic -e rn &

I wanted to know if somehow, this line can be read and put on the command
line for execution from the shell.

I know, Bizarre question huh.


Thanks,
