NAME

6       kxterm - the CERN KUIP terminal emulator
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kxterm [class] [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       kxterm  is  a terminal emulator combining the best features of the (now
13       defunct) Apollo DM pads (like: input  and  transcript  pads,  automatic
14       file  backup  of  transcript  pad, string search in pads, etc.) and the
15       Korn shell emacs-style command line editing  and  command  line  recall
16       mechanism.  For more detailed information about the program, please see
17       the online help available from the kxterm Help menu.
18
19       kxterm has a number of X resources which can be set by the user;  these
20       are    listed    in    the    online    help    and    in    the   file
21       /etc/X11/app-defaults/KXterm, where the default  values  are  set.   It
22       should  be  noted  that  when  kxterm is acting as a client for another
23       application, the desired X resource should be prefixed by "Kx" plus the
24       class  name  of  the  application.  So for application "Foo" the kxterm
25       resource class would be KxFoo, and one would set KxFoo*background, etc.
26       One can also set the resource class of a kxterm window via the command-
27       line with the class argument.
