NAME

       kxterm - the CERN KUIP terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       kxterm [class] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       kxterm  is  a terminal emulator combining the best features of the (now
       defunct) Apollo DM pads (like: input  and  transcript  pads,  automatic
       file  backup  of  transcript  pad, string search in pads, etc.) and the
       Korn shell emacs-style command line editing  and  command  line  recall
       mechanism.  For more detailed information about the program, please see
       the online help available from the kxterm Help menu.

       kxterm has a number of X resources which can be set by the user;  these
       are    listed    in    the    online    help    and    in    the   file
       /etc/X11/app-defaults/KXterm, where the default  values  are  set.   It
       should  be  noted  that  when  kxterm is acting as a client for another
       application, the desired X resource should be prefixed by "Kx" plus the
       class  name  of  the  application.  So for application "Foo" the kxterm
       resource class would be KxFoo, and one would set KxFoo*background, etc.
       One  can  also  set  the  resource  class  of  a  kxterm window via the
       command-line with the class argument.

OPTIONS

       -font fn
              Specifies the font used by kxterm.  The font fn must be an  XLFD
              (X  Logical  Font  Description), as for example displayed by the
              xlsfonts program.

       -geometry geom
              Specifies the preferred size and position of the kxterm  window;
              see X(7x) for details.

       -h, -help
              Show a summary of options.

       -iconic
              Specifies  that  the  window  manager  should start kxterm as an
              icon.

       -n iconname
              Specifies the name of the kxterm window in an iconic state.

       -name name
              Specifies both the title and the iconized  name  of  the  kxterm
              window.

       -pid pid
              Specifies  the  process ID of the program that kxterm should act
              as a client for.

       -prompt prompt
              Sets the prompt displayed in the input pad of the program.

       -tfont fn
              Specifies the font used by text boxes, the input  pad,  and  the
              transcript  pad  of  the  program.   This  should  probably be a
              fixed-width font like "courier" or "fixed".

       -title title
              Sets the title of the kxterm window to title.
