9 kxterm [class] [options]
10
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.
