 DOES NOT WORK.  Terminal blinks and exits, no error message.

Of course not. exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator accepts a command to run and does not allow to pass options to the terminal emulator, simply because it can be run with any terminal emulator. If you want to run a specific terminal emulator with specific options, just use that terminal emulator, no need for exo-open there.
