FVWM: Starting xterms with -e

This is probably stupid, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this
inside of fvwm2. I'm running 2.2.

>From inside an xterm, I can type

xterm -bg black -fg green -e telnet foo.org

and it works, but

AddToMenu "Terms" "Sessions" Title
+ "osiris" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/telnet foo.org

fails with no error. Or maybe one shows up, but it's inside the xterm
which is closing too fast to see it.

If I change the above to

+ "osiris" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/telnet

I get a telnet prompt.
