NAME
       xterm - terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSIS
       xterm [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...] [shell]

DESCRIPTION
       The  xterm  program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.  It
       provides DEC VT102/VT220 and selected features from higher-level termi-
       nals  such  as  VT320/VT420/VT520  (VTxxx).  It also provides Tektronix
       4014 emulation for programs that cannot use the window system directly.
       If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabili-
       ties (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd),
       xterm  will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window
       whenever it is resized.

       The VTxxx and Tektronix 4014 terminals each have their  own  window  so
       that  you can edit text in one and look at graphics in the other at the
       same time.  To maintain the correct aspect ratio	 (height/width),  Tek-
       tronix  graphics	 will  be  restricted to the largest box with a 4014's
       aspect ratio that will fit in the window.  This box is located  in  the
       upper left area of the window.

       Although both windows may be displayed at the same time, one of them is
       considered the "active" window for receiving keyboard input and	termi-
       nal  output.   This  is	the window that contains the text cursor.  The
       active window can be chosen through escape sequences, the "VT  Options"
       menu  in	 the VTxxx window, and the "Tek Options" menu in the 4014 win-
       dow.

EMULATIONS
       The VT102 emulation is fairly complete, but does	 not  support  autore-
       peat.   Double-size  characters	are  displayed	properly  if your font
       server supports scalable fonts.	The VT220 emulation does  not  support
       soft  fonts,  it	 is  otherwise complete.  Termcap(5) entries that work
       with xterm  include  an	optional  platform-specific  entry  ("xterm"),
       "xterm",	 "vt102",  "vt100",  "ansi"  and  "dumb".  xterm automatically
       searches the termcap file in this order for these entries and then sets
       the  "TERM"  and the "TERMCAP" environment variables.  You may also use
       "vt220",	 but must set the terminal emulation level with the  decTermi-
       nalID  resource.	  (The	"TERMCAP"  environment	variable is not set if
       xterm is linked against a terminfo library, since the requisite	infor-
       mation is not provided by the termcap emulation of terminfo libraries).

       Many  of	 the special xterm features may be modified under program con-
       trol through a set of escape  sequences	different  from	 the  standard
       VT102 escape sequences.	(See the Xterm Control Sequences document.)

       The  Tektronix  4014 emulation is also fairly good.  It supports 12-bit
       graphics addressing, scaled to the window size.	 Four  different  font
       sizes and five different lines types are supported.  There is no write-
       through or defocused mode support.  The	Tektronix  text	 and  graphics
       commands	 are recorded internally by xterm and may be written to a file
       by sending the COPY escape sequence (or through the Tektronix menu; see
       below).	 The name of the file will be "COPYyyyy-MM-dd.hh:mm:ss", where
       yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm and ss are the year, month, day, hour, minute  and
       second  when  the COPY was performed (the file is created in the direc-
       tory xterm is started in, or the home directory for a login xterm).

       Not all of the features described in this manual are necessarily avail-
       able  in	 this version of xterm.	 Some (e.g., the non-VT220 extensions)
       are available only if they were compiled in, though the most  commonly-
       used are in the default configuration.

OTHER FEATURES
       Xterm  automatically highlights the text cursor when the pointer enters
       the window (selected) and unhighlights it when the pointer  leaves  the
       window  (unselected).  If the window is the focus window, then the text
       cursor is highlighted no matter where the pointer is.

       In VT102 mode, there are escape sequences to activate and deactivate an
       alternate  screen buffer, which is the same size as the display area of
       the window.  When activated, the current screen is saved	 and  replaced
       with the alternate screen.  Saving of lines scrolled off the top of the
       window is disabled until the normal screen is restored.	The termcap(5)
       entry  for xterm allows the visual editor vi(1) to switch to the alter-
       nate screen for editing and to restore the screen  on  exit.   A	 popup
       menu  entry  makes it simple to switch between the normal and alternate
       screens for cut and paste.

       In either VT102 or Tektronix mode, there are escape sequences to change
       the name of the windows.	 Additionally, in VT102 mode, xterm implements
       the window-manipulation control sequences from dtterm, such as resizing
       the window, setting its location on the screen.

       Xterm allows character-based applications to receive mouse events (cur-
       rently button-press and release events, and  button-motion  events)  as
       keyboard control sequences.  See Xterm Control Sequences for details.

OPTIONS
       The xterm terminal emulator accepts the standard X Toolkit command line
       options as well as many application-specific options.   If  the	option
       begins  with  a	`+'  instead  of  a `-', the option is restored to its
       default value.  The -version and -help options are interpreted even  if
       xterm  cannot open the display, and are useful for testing and configu-
       ration scripts.	Along with  -class,  they  are	checked	 before	 other
       options.

       -version
	       This  causes  xterm  to	print a version number to the standard
	       output, and then exit.

       -help   This causes xterm to print out a verbose message describing its
	       options,	 one per line.	The message is written to the standard
	       output.	After printing the message, xterm exits.  Xterm gener-
	       ates this message, sorting it and noting whether a "-option" or
	       a "+option" turns the feature on or off,	 since	some  features
	       historically  have  been	 one  or the other.  Xterm generates a
	       concise help  message  (multiple	 options  per  line)  when  an
	       unknown option is used, e.g.,

		   xterm -z

       If  the	logic  for a particular option such as logging is not compiled
       into xterm, the help text for that option also is not displayed by  the
       -help option.

       One parameter (after all options) may be given.	That overrides xterm's
       built-in choice of shell program.   Normally  xterm  checks  the	 SHELL
       variable.   If  that  is	 not set, xterm tries to use the shell program
       specified in the password  file.	  If  that  is	not  set,  xterm  uses
       /bin/sh.	 If the parameter is not a relative path, i.e., beginning with
       "./" or "../", xterm looks for the file in the user's PATH.  In	either
       case,  it  constructs  an  absolute path.  The -e option cannot be used
       with this parameter since it uses all parameters following the option.

       The other options are used to control the appearance and behavior.  Not
       all options are necessarily configured into your copy of xterm:

       -132    Normally,  the  VT102  DECCOLM  escape  sequence	 that switches
	       between 80 and 132 column mode is ignored.  This option	causes
	       the  DECCOLM  escape  sequence  to be recognized, and the xterm
	       window will resize appropriately.

       -ah     This option indicates that xterm should	always	highlight  the
	       text cursor.  By default, xterm will display a hollow text cur-
	       sor whenever the focus is lost or the pointer leaves  the  win-
	       dow.

       +ah     This  option  indicates	that xterm should do text cursor high-
	       lighting based on focus.

       -ai     This option disables active icon support if  that  feature  was
	       compiled	 into  xterm.  This is equivalent to setting the vt100
	       resource activeIcon to "false".

       +ai     This option enables active icon support	if  that  feature  was
	       compiled	 into  xterm.  This is equivalent to setting the vt100
	       resource activeIcon to "true".

       -aw     This option indicates that auto-wraparound should  be  allowed.
	       This  allows  the cursor to automatically wrap to the beginning
	       of the next line when it is at the rightmost position of a line
	       and text is output.

       +aw     This  option  indicates	that  auto-wraparound  should  not  be
	       allowed.

       -b number
	       This option specifies the size of the inner  border  (the  dis-
	       tance  between  the outer edge of the characters and the window
	       border) in pixels.  That is the vt100 internalBorder  resource.
	       The default is "2".

       +bc     turn  off text cursor blinking.	This overrides the cursorBlink
	       resource.

       -bc     turn on text cursor blinking.  This overrides  the  cursorBlink
	       resource.

       -bcf milliseconds
	       set the amount of time text cursor is off when blinking via the
	       cursorOffTime resource.

       -bcn milliseconds
	       set the amount of time text cursor is on when blinking via  the
	       cursorOffTime resource.

       -bdc    Set  the	 vt100	resource colorBDMode to "false", disabling the
	       display of characters with bold attribute as color

       +bdc    Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to "true", enabling the dis-
	       play  of	 characters  with  bold attribute as color rather than
	       bold

       -cb     Set the vt100 resource cutToBeginningOfLine to "false".

       +cb     Set the vt100 resource cutToBeginningOfLine to "true".

       -cc characterclassrange:value[,...]
	       This sets classes indicated by the given ranges	for  using  in
	       selecting  by  words.   See  the	 section  specifying character
	       classes.	 and discussion of the charClass resource.

       -cjk_width
	       Set the cjkWidth resource to "true".  When turned  on,  charac-
	       ters  with  East	 Asian Ambiguous (A) category in UTR 11 have a
	       column width of 2.  Otherwise, they have a column width	of  1.
	       This may be useful for some legacy CJK text terminal-based pro-
	       grams assuming box drawings and others to have a	 column	 width
	       of  2.  It also should be turned on when you specify a TrueType
	       CJK double-width (bi-width/monospace) font either with  -fa  at
	       the command line or faceName resource.  The default is "false"

       +cjk_width
	       Reset the cjkWidth resource.

       -class string
	       This  option  allows  you  to  override xterm's resource class.
	       Normally it is "XTerm", but can be set to another class such as
	       "UXTerm" to override selected resources.

       -cm     This  option  disables  recognition of ANSI color-change escape
	       sequences.  It sets the colorMode resource to "false".

       +cm     This option enables recognition	of  ANSI  color-change	escape
	       sequences.  This is the same as the vt100 resource colorMode.

       -cn     This  option indicates that newlines should not be cut in line-
	       mode selections.	 It sets the cutNewline resource to "false".

       +cn     This option indicates that newlines should be cut in  line-mode
	       selections.  It sets the cutNewline resource to "true".

       -cr color
	       This  option  specifies	the color to use for text cursor.  The
	       default is to use the same foreground color that	 is  used  for
	       text.  It sets the cursorColor resource according to the param-
	       eter.

       -cu     This option indicates that xterm should work around  a  bug  in
	       the more(1) program that causes it to incorrectly display lines
	       that are exactly the width of the window and are followed by  a
	       line beginning with a tab (the leading tabs are not displayed).
	       This option is so named because it was originally thought to be
	       a bug in the curses(3x) cursor motion package.

       +cu     This  option  indicates	that  xterm should not work around the
	       more(1) bug mentioned above.

       -dc     This option disables the escape sequence to change dynamic col-
	       ors:  the vt100 foreground and background colors, its text cur-
	       sor color, the pointer cursor foreground and background colors,
	       the  Tektronix  emulator	 foreground and background colors, its
	       text cursor color and highlight color.	The  option  sets  the
	       dynamicColors option to "false".

       +dc     This  option enables the escape sequence to change dynamic col-
	       ors.  The option sets the dynamicColors option to "true".

       -e program [ arguments ... ]
	       This option specifies the program (and its command  line	 argu-
	       ments)  to be run in the xterm window.  It also sets the window
	       title and icon name to be the basename  of  the	program	 being
	       executed	 if  neither  -T nor -n are given on the command line.
	       This must be the last option on the command line.

       -en encoding
	       This option determines the encoding on which  xterm  runs.   It
	       sets  the locale resource.  Encodings other than UTF-8 are sup-
	       ported by using luit.  The -lc option should be used instead of
	       -en for systems with locale support.

       -fb font
	       This  option  specifies	a font to be used when displaying bold
	       text.  It sets the boldFont resource.

	       This font must be the same height and width as the normal font,
	       otherwise  it  is  ignored.   If only one of the normal or bold
	       fonts is specified, it will be used as the normal font and  the
	       bold font will be produced by overstriking this font.

	       See   also   the	 discussion  of	 boldMode  and	alwaysBoldMode
	       resources.

       -fa pattern
	       This option sets	 the  pattern  for  fonts  selected  from  the
	       FreeType	 library if support for that library was compiled into
	       xterm.  This corresponds to the faceName resource.  When a  CJK
	       double-width  font  is  specified, you also need to turn on the
	       cjkWidth resource.

	       See also the renderFont resource, which combines with  this  to
	       determine whether FreeType fonts are initially active.

       -fbb    This option indicates that xterm should compare normal and bold
	       fonts bounding boxes to ensure they are	compatible.   It  sets
	       the freeBoldBox resource to "false".

       +fbb    This  option indicates that xterm should not compare normal and
	       bold fonts bounding boxes to ensure they	 are  compatible.   It
	       sets the freeBoldBox resource to "true".

       -fbx    This  option  indicates	that  xterm should not assume that the
	       normal and bold fonts have VT100 line-drawing  characters.   If
	       any  are	 missing, xterm will draw the characters directly.  It
	       sets the forceBoxChars resource to "false".

       +fbx    This option indicates that xterm should assume that the	normal
	       and bold fonts have VT100 line-drawing characters.  It sets the
	       forceBoxChars resource to "true".

       -fd pattern
	       This option sets the pattern for	 double-width  fonts  selected
	       from  the FreeType library if support for that library was com-
	       piled into xterm.  This corresponds to  the  faceNameDoublesize
	       resource.

       -fi font
	       This  option sets the font for active icons if that feature was
	       compiled into xterm.

	       See also the discussion of the iconFont resource.

       -fs size
	       This option sets the pointsize  for  fonts  selected  from  the
	       FreeType	 library if support for that library was compiled into
	       xterm.  This corresponds to the faceSize resource.

       -fullscreen
	       This option indicates that xterm should ask the window  manager
	       to let it use the full-screen for display, e.g., without window
	       decorations.  It sets the fullscreen resource to "true".

       +fullscreen
	       This option indicates that xterm should not ask the window man-
	       ager  to	 let  it use the full-screen for display.  It sets the
	       fullscreen resource to "false".

       -fw font
	       This option specifies the font to be used for  displaying  wide
	       text.   By default, it will attempt to use a font twice as wide
	       as the font that will be used to draw normal text.  If no  dou-
	       ble-width  font	is found, it will improvise, by stretching the
	       normal font.  This corresponds to the wideFont resource.

       -fwb font
	       This option specifies the font to be used for  displaying  bold
	       wide  text.  By default, it will attempt to use a font twice as
	       wide as the font that will be used to draw bold	text.	If  no
	       double-width  font  is  found, it will improvise, by stretching
	       the bold font.  This corresponds to the wideBoldFont resource.

       -fx font
	       This option specifies the font to be used  for  displaying  the
	       preedit string in the "OverTheSpot" input method.

	       See also the discussion of the ximFont resource.

       -hc color
	       (see -selbg).

       -hf     This  option indicates that HP Function Key escape codes should
	       be generated for function keys.	 It  sets  the	hpFunctionKeys
	       resource to "true".

       +hf     This  option indicates that HP Function Key escape codes should
	       not be generated for function keys.  It sets the hpFunctionKeys
	       resource to "false".

       -hm     Tells  xterm  to	 use  highlightTextColor and highlightColor to
	       override the reversed foreground/background colors in a	selec-
	       tion.  It sets the highlightColorMode resource to "true".

       +hm     Tells xterm not to use highlightTextColor and highlightColor to
	       override the reversed foreground/background colors in a	selec-
	       tion.  It sets the highlightColorMode resource to "false".

       -hold   Turn  on	 the  hold  resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately
	       destroy its window when the shell command completes.   It  will
	       wait  until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the win-
	       dow, or if you use the menu entries that send a	signal,	 e.g.,
	       HUP or KILL.

       +hold   Turn  off  the  hold  resource,	i.e.,  xterm  will immediately
	       destroy its window when the shell command completes.

       -ie     Turn on the ptyInitialErase resource, i.e., use the pseudo-ter-
	       minal's sense of the stty erase value.

       +ie     Turn off the ptyInitialErase resource, i.e., set the stty erase
	       value using the kb string from the termcap entry	 as  a	refer-
	       ence, if available.

       -im     Turn  on the useInsertMode resource, which forces use of insert
	       mode by adding appropriate entries to the  TERMCAP  environment
	       variable.

       +im     Turn off the useInsertMode resource.

       -into windowId
	       Given an X window identifier (an integer, which can be hexadec-
	       imal, octal or decimal according	 to  whether  it  begins  with
	       "0x",  "0" or neither), xterm will reparent its top-level shell
	       widget to that window.  This is	used  to  embed	 xterm	within
	       other applications.

	       For instance, there are scripts for Tcl/Tk and Gtk which can be
	       used to demonstrate the feature.	 When using Gtk,  there	 is  a
	       limitation   of	 that  toolkit	which  requires	 that  xterm's
	       allowSendEvents resource is enabled.

       -j      This option indicates that xterm should do jump scrolling.   It
	       corresponds  to	the  jumpScroll	 resource.   Normally, text is
	       scrolled one line at a time; this option allows xterm  to  move
	       multiple	 lines	at  a  time  so	 that  it does not fall as far
	       behind.	Its use is strongly recommended since it  makes	 xterm
	       much  faster  when scanning through large amounts of text.  The
	       VT100 escape sequences for enabling and disabling smooth scroll
	       as  well as the "VT Options" menu can be used to turn this fea-
	       ture on or off.

       +j      This option indicates that xterm should not do jump scrolling.

       -k8     This  option  sets   the	  allowC1Printable   resource.	  When
	       allowC1Printable is set, xterm overrides the mapping of C1 con-
	       trol characters (code 128-159) to treat them as printable.

       +k8     This option resets the allowC1Printable resource.

       -kt keyboardtype
	       This option sets the keyboardType  resource.   Possible	values
	       include:	 "unknown",  "default", "hp", "sco", "sun", "tcap" and
	       "vt220".

	       The value "unknown", causes the corresponding  resource	to  be
	       ignored.

	       The   value  "default",	suppresses  the	 associated  resources
	       hpFunctionKeys, scoFunctionKeys, sunFunctionKeys, tcapFunction-
	       Keys and sunKeyboard, using the Sun/PC keyboard layout.

       -l      Turn  logging  on.   Normally  logging is not supported, due to
	       security concerns.  Some versions of  xterm  may	 have  logging
	       enabled.	  The  logfile	is written to the directory from which
	       xterm is invoked.  The filename is generated, of the form

		    XtermLog.XXXXXX

	       or

		    Xterm.log.hostname.yyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss.XXXXXX

	       depending on how xterm was built.

       +l      Turn logging off.

       -lc     Turn on support of various encodings according  to  the	users'
	       locale  setting,	 i.e.,	LC_ALL,	 LC_CTYPE, or LANG environment
	       variables.  This is achieved by turning on UTF-8	 mode  and  by
	       invoking	 luit  for  conversion	between	 locale	 encodings and
	       UTF-8.  (luit is not invoked in UTF-8  locales.)	  This	corre-
	       sponds to the locale resource.

	       The  actual list of encodings which are supported is determined
	       by luit.	 Consult the luit manual page for further details.

	       See also the discussion of the -u8 option which supports	 UTF-8
	       locales.

       +lc     Turn  off  support  of automatic selection of locale encodings.
	       Conventional 8bit mode or, in UTF-8 locales or with -u8 option,
	       UTF-8 mode will be used.

       -lcc path
	       File  name  for the encoding converter from/to locale encodings
	       and UTF-8 which is used with -lc	 option	 or  locale  resource.
	       This corresponds to the localeFilter resource.

       -leftbar
	       Force  scrollbar to the left side of VT100 screen.  This is the
	       default, unless you have set the rightScrollBar resource.

       -lf filename
	       Specify the log-filename.  See the -l option.

       -ls     This option indicates that the shell that  is  started  in  the
	       xterm  window  will be a login shell (i.e., the first character
	       of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating  to  the  shell  that  it
	       should read the user's .login or .profile).

	       The  -ls	 flag and the loginShell resource are ignored if -e is
	       also given, because xterm does not know how to make  the	 shell
	       start  the  given  command  after whatever it does when it is a
	       login shell - the user's shell of choice need not be  a	Bourne
	       shell  after all.  Also, xterm -e is supposed to provide a con-
	       sistent functionality for other applications that need to start
	       text-mode  programs  in	a  window,  and if loginShell were not
	       ignored, the result of ~/.profile might interfere with that.

	       If you do want the effect of -ls and -e simultaneously, you may
	       get away with something like

		   xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "my command here"

	       Finally,	 -ls  is  not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e
	       does write a /var/log/wtmp entry	 (if  configured  to  do  so),
	       whereas xterm -e does not.

       -maximized
	       This  option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager
	       to maximize its layout on startup.   This  corresponds  to  the
	       maximized resource.

	       Maximizing  is not the reverse of iconifying; it is possible to
	       do both with certain window managers.

       +maximized
	       This option indicates that xterm should ask the window  manager
	       to not maximize its layout on startup.

       +ls     This option indicates that the shell that is started should not
	       be a login shell (i.e., it will be a normal "subshell").

       -mb     This option indicates that xterm should ring a margin bell when
	       the user types near the right end of a line.

       +mb     This option indicates that margin bell should not be rung.

       -mc milliseconds
	       This  option  specifies	the  maximum  time between multi-click
	       selections.

       -mesg   Turn off the messages resource, i.e., disallow write access  to
	       the terminal.

       +mesg   Turn  on the messages resource, i.e., allow write access to the
	       terminal.

       -mk_width
	       Set the mkWidth resource to "true".  This  makes	 xterm	use  a
	       built-in	 version of the wide-character width calculation.  The
	       default is "false"

       +mk_width
	       Reset the mkWidth resource.

       -ms color
	       This option specifies the color to be used for the pointer cur-
	       sor.   The  default  is to use the foreground color.  This sets
	       the pointerColor resource.

       -nb number
	       This option specifies the number of characters from  the	 right
	       end  of a line at which the margin bell, if enabled, will ring.
	       The default is "10".

       -nul    This option disables the display of underlining.

       +nul    This option enables the display of underlining.

       -pc     This option enables the PC-style use of bold colors (see	 bold-
	       Colors resource).

       +pc     This option disables the PC-style use of bold colors.

       -pob    This option indicates that the window should be raised whenever
	       a Control-G is received.

       +pob    This option indicates that the  window  should  not  be	raised
	       whenever a Control-G is received.

       -rightbar
	       Force scrollbar to the right side of VT100 screen.

       -rvc    This  option  disables  the  display of characters with reverse
	       attribute as color.

       +rvc    This option enables the	display	 of  characters	 with  reverse
	       attribute as color.

       -rw     This   option   indicates  that	reverse-wraparound  should  be
	       allowed.	 This allows the cursor to back up from	 the  leftmost
	       column  of  one	line  to  the rightmost column of the previous
	       line.  This is very useful for editing long shell command lines
	       and  is	encouraged.  This option can be turned on and off from
	       the "VT Options" menu.

       +rw     This option indicates that  reverse-wraparound  should  not  be
	       allowed.

       -s      This  option  indicates	that  xterm may scroll asynchronously,
	       meaning that the screen does not have to be kept completely  up
	       to  date while scrolling.  This allows xterm to run faster when
	       network latencies are very high and is  typically  useful  when
	       running across a very large internet or many gateways.

       +s      This option indicates that xterm should scroll synchronously.

       -samename
	       Does  not  send	title  and  icon name change requests when the
	       request would have no effect: the name is  not  changed.	  This
	       has the advantage of preventing flicker and the disadvantage of
	       requiring an extra round trip to the server  to	find  out  the
	       previous value.	In practice this should never be a problem.

       +samename
	       Always send title and icon name change requests.

       -sb     This  option  indicates	that  some  number  of	lines that are
	       scrolled off the top of the window should be saved and  that  a
	       scrollbar  should  be  displayed	 so  that  those  lines can be
	       viewed.	This option may be turned on  and  off	from  the  "VT
	       Options" menu.

       +sb     This option indicates that a scrollbar should not be displayed.

       -selbg color
	       This  option  specifies	the color to use for the background of
	       selected text.  If not specified, reverse video is  used.   See
	       the discussion of the highlightColor resource.

       -selfg color
	       This  option  specifies the color to use for selected text.  If
	       not specified, reverse video is used.  See  the	discussion  of
	       the highlightTextColor resource.

       -sf     This option indicates that Sun Function Key escape codes should
	       be generated for function keys.

       +sf     This option indicates that the standard escape codes should  be
	       generated for function keys.

       -sh number
	       scale  line-height values by the given number.  See the discus-
	       sion of the scaleHeight resource.

       -si     This option indicates that output to a window should not	 auto-
	       matically  reposition the screen to the bottom of the scrolling
	       region.	This option can be turned on  and  off	from  the  "VT
	       Options" menu.

       +si     This  option  indicates that output to a window should cause it
	       to scroll to the bottom.

       -sk     This option indicates that  pressing  a	key  while  using  the
	       scrollbar  to  review  previous	lines of text should cause the
	       window to be repositioned automatically in the normal  position
	       at the bottom of the scroll region.

       +sk     This  option  indicates	that  pressing	a  key while using the
	       scrollbar should not cause the window to be repositioned.

       -sl number
	       This option specifies the number of lines  to  save  that  have
	       been  scrolled  off the top of the screen.  This corresponds to
	       the saveLines resource.	The default is "64".

       -sm     This option, corresponding to the  sessionMgt  resource,	 indi-
	       cates that xterm should set up session manager callbacks.

       +sm     This option indicates that xterm should not set up session man-
	       ager callbacks.

       -sp     This option indicates that Sun/PC keyboard should  be  assumed,
	       providing  mapping  for	keypad "+' to ",', and CTRL-F1 to F13,
	       CTRL-F2 to F14, etc.

       +sp     This option indicates that the standard escape codes should  be
	       generated for keypad and function keys.

       -t      This  option  indicates	that  xterm  should start in Tektronix
	       mode, rather than in VT102 mode.	  Switching  between  the  two
	       windows	is done using the "Options" menus.  Termcap(5) entries
	       that  work  with	  xterm	  "tek4014",   "tek4015",   "tek4012",
	       "tek4013", "tek4010", and "dumb".  xterm automatically searches
	       the termcap file in this order for these entries and then  sets
	       the "TERM" and the "TERMCAP" environment variables.

       +t      This option indicates that xterm should start in VT102 mode.

       -tb     This  option,  corresponding to the toolBar resource, indicates
	       that xterm should display a toolbar (or menubar) at the top  of
	       its window.  The buttons in the toolbar correspond to the popup
	       menus, e.g., control/left/mouse for "Main Options".

       +tb     This option indicates that xterm should not set up a toolbar.

       -ti term_id
	       Specify the name used by xterm to select the  correct  response
	       to terminal ID queries.	It also specifies the emulation level,
	       used to	determine  the	type  of  response  to	a  DA  control
	       sequence.   Valid  values  include  vt52,  vt100, vt101, vt102,
	       vt220, and vt240	 (the  "vt"  is	 optional).   The  default  is
	       "vt420".	  The  term_id	argument  specifies the terminal ID to
	       use.  (This is the same as the decTerminalID resource).

       -tm string
	       This option specifies a series  of  terminal  setting  keywords
	       followed	 by the characters that should be bound to those func-
	       tions, similar to the stty program.   The  keywords  and	 their
	       values are described in detail in the ttyModes resource.

       -tn name
	       This  option  specifies the name of the terminal type to be set
	       in the  TERM  environment  variable.   It  corresponds  to  the
	       termName resource.  This terminal type must exist in the termi-
	       nal database (termcap or terminfo, depending on	how  xterm  is
	       built)  and  should  have li# and co# entries.  If the terminal
	       type is not  found,  xterm  uses	 the  built-in	list  "xterm",
	       "vt102", etc.

       -u8     This  option  sets  the utf8 resource.  When utf8 is set, xterm
	       interprets incoming data as UTF-8.   This  sets	the  wideChars
	       resource	 as  a	side-effect,  but  the	UTF-8 mode set by this
	       option prevents it from being turned off.  If you must turn  it
	       on and off, use the wideChars resource.

	       This option and the utf8 resource are overridden by the -lc and
	       -en options and locale resource.	 That is, if  xterm  has  been
	       compiled	 to  support  luit,  and  the  locale  resource is not
	       "false" this option is ignored.	We  recommend  using  the  -lc
	       option  or  the	"locale: true"	resource in UTF-8 locales when
	       your operating system supports locale, or -en UTF-8  option  or
	       the  "locale: UTF-8"  resource  when your operating system does
	       not support locale.

       +u8     This option resets the utf8 resource.

       -uc     This option makes the cursor underlined instead of a box.

       +uc     This option makes the cursor a box instead of underlined.

       -ulc    This option disables the display of characters  with  underline
	       attribute as color rather than with underlining.

       +ulc    This  option  enables  the display of characters with underline
	       attribute as color rather than with underlining.

       -ulit   This option, corresponding to the italicULMode  resource,  dis-
	       ables  the  display  of	characters with underline attribute as
	       italics rather than with underlining.

       +ulit   This  option,  corresponding  to	 the  italicULMode   resource,
	       enables	the  display of characters with underline attribute as
	       italics rather than with underlining.

       -ut     This option indicates that xterm should not write a record into
	       the the system utmp log file.

       +ut     This option indicates that xterm should write a record into the
	       system utmp log file.

       -vb     This option indicates that a visual bell is preferred  over  an
	       audible	one.   Instead of ringing the terminal bell whenever a
	       Control-G is received, the window will be flashed.

       +vb     This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used.

       -wc     This option sets the wideChars  resource.   When	 wideChars  is
	       set, xterm maintains internal structures for 16-bit characters.
	       If you do not set this resource to "true",  xterm  will	ignore
	       the  escape  sequence  which  turns UTF-8 mode on and off.  The
	       default is "false".

       +wc     This option resets the wideChars resource.

       -wf     This option indicates that xterm should wait for the window  to
	       be mapped the first time before starting the subprocess so that
	       the initial terminal size settings  and	environment  variables
	       are  correct.   It is the application's responsibility to catch
	       subsequent terminal size changes.

       +wf     This option indicates that xterm should not wait before	start-
	       ing the subprocess.

       -ziconbeep percent
	       Same  as	 zIconBeep  resource.	If percent is non-zero, xterms
	       that produce output while iconified will cause an  XBell	 sound
	       at  the	given  volume  and  have "***" prepended to their icon
	       titles.	Most window managers will detect this  change  immedi-
	       ately,  showing	you  which  window has the output.  (A similar
	       feature was in x10 xterm.)

       -C      This option indicates that this window should  receive  console
	       output.	 This is not supported on all systems.	To obtain con-
	       sole output, you must be the owner of the console  device,  and
	       you  must  have	read  and write permission for it.  If you are
	       running X under xdm on the console screen you may need to  have
	       the  session  startup  and reset programs explicitly change the
	       ownership of the console device in order to get this option  to
	       work.

       -Sccn   This  option  allows  xterm  to	be used as an input and output
	       channel for an existing program and is sometimes used  in  spe-
	       cialized applications.  The option value specifies the last few
	       letters of the name of a pseudo-terminal to use in slave	 mode,
	       plus  the  number  of  the  inherited  file descriptor.	If the
	       option contains a "/" character, that delimits  the  characters
	       used  for  the  pseudo-terminal	name from the file descriptor.
	       Otherwise, exactly two characters are used from the option  for
	       the pseudo-terminal name, the remainder is the file descriptor.
	       Examples (the first two are  equivalent	since  the  descriptor
	       follows the last "/"):

		   -S/dev/pts/123/45
		   -S123/45
		   -Sab34

	       Note that xterm does not close any file descriptor which it did
	       not open for its own use.  It is possible (though probably  not
	       portable)  to  have  an	application  which passes an open file
	       descriptor down to xterm past  the  initialization  or  the  -S
	       option to a process running in the xterm.

   OLD OPTIONS
       The  following  command	line  arguments are provided for compatibility
       with older versions.  They may not be supported in the next release  as
       the X Toolkit provides standard options that accomplish the same task.

       %geom   This  option  specifies	the preferred size and position of the
	       Tektronix window.  It is shorthand for specifying the  "*tekGe-
	       ometry" resource.

       #geom   This  option  specifies the preferred position of the icon win-
	       dow.   It  is  shorthand	 for  specifying  the  "*iconGeometry"
	       resource.

       -T string
	       This  option  specifies	the  title for xterm's windows.	 It is
	       equivalent to -title.

       -n string
	       This option specifies the icon name for xterm's windows.	 It is
	       shorthand  for  specifying the "*iconName" resource.  Note that
	       this is not the same as the toolkit option -name	 (see  below).
	       The default icon name is the application name.

	       If  no  suitable	 icon  is  found, xterm provides a compiled-in
	       pixmap.

       -r      This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by
	       swapping	 the  foreground and background colors.	 It is equiva-
	       lent to -rv.

       -w number
	       This option specifies the width in pixels of  the  border  sur-
	       rounding the window.  It is equivalent to -borderwidth or -bw.

   X TOOLKIT OPTIONS
       The  following  standard	 X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly
       used with xterm:

       -bd color
	       This option specifies the color to use for the  border  of  the
	       window.	The corresponding resource name is borderColor.	 xterm
	       uses the X Toolkit default, which is "XtDefaultForeground".

       -bg color
	       This option specifies the color to use for  the	background  of
	       the  window.   The  corresponding  resource name is background.
	       The default is "XtDefaultBackground".

       -bw number
	       This option specifies the width in pixels of  the  border  sur-
	       rounding the window.

	       This  appears  to be a legacy of older X releases.  It sets the
	       borderWidth resource of	the  shell  widget,  and  may  provide
	       advice  to your window manager to set the thickness of the win-
	       dow frame.  Most window managers do not use  this  information.
	       See the -b option, which controls the inner border of the xterm
	       window.

       -display display
	       This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7).

       -fg color
	       This option specifies the color to  use	for  displaying	 text.
	       The  corresponding resource name is foreground.	The default is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".

       -fn font
	       This option specifies the font to be used for displaying normal
	       text.   The  corresponding resource name is font.  The resource
	       value default is fixed.

       -font font
	       This is the same as -fn.

       -geometry geometry
	       This option specifies the preferred size and  position  of  the
	       VT102 window; see X(7).

       -iconic This  option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager
	       to start it as an icon rather than as the normal	 window.   The
	       corresponding resource name is iconic.

       -name name
	       This   option   specifies  the  application  name  under	 which
	       resources are to be obtained,  rather  than  the	 default  exe-
	       cutable	file name.  Name should not contain "." or "*" charac-
	       ters.

       -rv     This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by
	       swapping the foreground and background colors.  The correspond-
	       ing resource name is reverseVideo.

       +rv     Disable the simulation of reverse video by swapping  foreground
	       and background colors.

       -title string
	       This  option  specifies	the  window title string, which may be
	       displayed by window managers  if	 the  user  so	chooses.   The
	       default	title  is  the	command	 line  specified  after the -e
	       option, if any, otherwise the application name.

       -xrm resourcestring
	       This option specifies a resource string to be  used.   This  is
	       especially  useful for setting resources that do not have sepa-
	       rate command line options.

RESOURCES
       The program understands all of the core X Toolkit  resource  names  and
       classes.	 Application specific resources (e.g., "XTerm.NAME") follow:

       backarrowKeyIsErase (class BackarrowKeyIsErase)
	       Tie   the  VTxxx	 backarrowKey  and  ptyInitialErase  resources
	       together by setting the DECBKM state according to  whether  the
	       initial	value of stty erase is a backspace (8) or delete (127)
	       character.  A "false" value disables this feature.  The default
	       is "False".

       fullscreen (class Fullscreen)
	       Specifies whether or not xterm should ask the window manager to
	       use a fullscreen layout on startup.   Xterm  accepts  either  a
	       keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

	       false (0)
		  Fullscreen  layout  is  not used initially, but may be later
		  via menu-selection or control sequence.

	       true (1)
		  Fullscreen layout is used initially,	but  may  be  disabled
		  later via menu-selection or control sequence.

	       always (2)
		  Fullscreen  layout is used initially, and cannot be disabled
		  later via menu-selection or control sequence.

	       never (3)
		  Fullscreen layout is not used, and cannot be	enabled	 later
		  via menu-selection or control sequence.

	       The default is "false".

       hold (class Hold)
	       If true, xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the
	       shell command completes.	 It will wait until you use the window
	       manager	to  destroy/kill  the  window,	or if you use the menu
	       entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.  You may	scroll
	       back,  select text, etc., to perform most graphical operations.
	       Resizing the  display  will  lose  data,	 however,  since  this
	       involves interaction with the shell which is no longer running.

       hpFunctionKeys (class HpFunctionKeys)
	       Specifies whether or not HP Function Key escape codes should be
	       generated  for  function	 keys  instead	of   standard	escape
	       sequences.

	       See also the keyboardType resource.

       iconGeometry (class IconGeometry)
	       Specifies  the  preferred  size and position of the application
	       when iconified.	It is not necessarily  obeyed  by  all	window
	       managers.

       iconHint (class IconHint)
	       Specifies  a  icon  which  will	be added to the window manager
	       hints.  xterm provides no default value.

	       Set this resource to "none" to omit the	hint  entirely,	 using
	       whatever the window manager may decide.

	       If the iconHint resource is given (or is set via the -n option)
	       xterm searches for a pixmap file with that name, in the current
	       directory  as  well  as in /usr/share/pixmaps.  if the resource
	       does not specify an absolute pathname.	In  each  case,	 xterm
	       adds  "_48x48" and/or ".xpm" to the filename after trying with-
	       out those suffixes.  If it is able to load the file, xterm sets
	       the window manager hint for the icon-pixmap.  These pixmaps are
	       distributed with xterm, and can optionally be compiled-in:

	       o   mini.xterm_16x16, mini.xterm_32x32, mini.xterm_48x48

	       o   filled-xterm_16x16 filled-xterm_32x32 filled-xterm_48x48

	       o   xterm_16x16 xterm_32x32 xterm_48x48

	       o   xterm-color_16x16 xterm-color_32x32 xterm-color_48x48

	       In either case, xterm allows for adding a "_48x48"  to  specify
	       the largest of the pixmaps as a default.	 That is, "mini.xterm"
	       is the same as "mini.xterm_48x48".

	       If no explicit iconHint resource is given (or if	 none  of  the
	       compiled-in  names  matches), xterm uses "mini.xterm" (which is
	       always compiled-in).

	       The iconHint resource has no effect on "desktop" files, includ-
	       ing  "panel" and "menu".	 Those are typically set via a ".desk-
	       top" file; xterm provides samples for itself  (and  the	uxterm
	       script).	  The  more capable desktop systems allow changing the
	       icon on a per-user basis.

       iconName (class IconName)
	       Specifies a label for xterm when iconified.  xterm provides  no
	       default	value; some window managers may assume the application
	       name, e.g., "xterm".

	       Setting the iconName resource sets the icon label unless	 over-
	       ridden  by  zIconBeep or the control sequences which change the
	       window and icon labels.

       keyboardType (class KeyboardType)
	       Enables one (or none) of the various  keyboard-type  resources:
	       hpFunctionKeys, scoFunctionKeys, sunFunctionKeys, tcapFunction-
	       Keys and sunKeyboard.  The resource's value should  be  one  of
	       the   corresponding  strings  "hp",  "sco",  "sun",  "tcap"  or
	       "vt220".	 The individual resources are provided for legacy sup-
	       port; this resource is simpler to use.

	       The   default  is  "unknown",  i.e.,  none  of  the  associated
	       resources are set via this resource.

       maxBufSize (class MaxBufSize)
	       Specify the maximum size of the input buffer.  The  default  is
	       "32768".	  You cannot set this to a value less than the minBuf-
	       Size resource.  It will be increased as	needed	to  make  that
	       value evenly divide this one.

	       On  some	 systems  you  may want to increase one or both of the
	       maxBufSize and minBufSize resource  values  to  achieve	better
	       performance  if	the  operating	system	prefers	 larger buffer
	       sizes.

       maximized (class Maximized)
	       Specifies whether or not xterm should ask the window manager to
	       maximize its layout on startup.	The default is "false".

       messages (class Messages)
	       Specifies  whether write access to the terminal is allowed ini-
	       tially.	See mesg(1).  The default is "true".

       menuLocale (class MenuLocale)
	       Specify the locale used	for  character-set  computations  when
	       loading	the  popup  menus.  Use this to improve initialization
	       performance of the Athena popup menus, which may load  unneces-
	       sary  (and  very	 large)	 fonts, e.g., in a locale having UTF-8
	       encoding.  The default is "C" (POSIX).

	       To use the current locale (only useful if  you  have  localized
	       the  resource  settings for the menu entries), set the resource
	       to an empty string.

       minBufSize (class MinBufSize)
	       Specify the minimum size of the input buffer, i.e., the	amount
	       of  data	 that  xterm  requests	on  each read.	The default is
	       "4096".	You cannot set this to a value less than 64.

       omitTranslation (class OmitTranslation)
	       Selectively omit one or more parts of xterm's default  transla-
	       tions at startup.  The resource value is a comma-separated list
	       of keywords, which may be abbreviated:  "fullscreen",  "scroll-
	       lock",  "shift-fonts"  or "wheel-mouse".	 Xterm also recognizes
	       "default", but omitting that will  make	the  program  unusable
	       unless  you  provide a similar definition in your resource set-
	       tings.

       ptyHandshake (class PtyHandshake)
	       If "true", xterm will perform handshaking during initialization
	       to  ensure  that the parent and child processes update the utmp
	       and stty state.

	       See also	 waitForMap  which  waits  for	the  pseudo-terminal's
	       notion  of  the	screen	size, and ptySttySize which resets the
	       screen size after other terminal	 initialization	 is  complete.
	       The default is "true".

       ptyInitialErase (class PtyInitialErase)
	       If  "true",  xterm  will use the pseudo-terminal's sense of the
	       stty erase value.  If "false", xterm will set  the  stty	 erase
	       value  to match its own configuration, using the kb string from
	       the termcap entry as a  reference,  if  available.   In	either
	       case, the result is applied to the TERMCAP variable which xterm
	       sets.

	       See also the ttyModes resource, which  may  modify  this.   The
	       default is "false".

       ptySttySize (class PtySttySize)
	       If "true", xterm will reset the screen size after terminal ini-
	       tialization is complete.	 This is needed for some systems whose
	       pseudo-terminals	 cannot	 propagate  terminal  characteristics.
	       Where it is not needed, it can interfere with other methods for
	       setting the intial screen size, e.g., via window manager inter-
	       action.

	       See also waitForMap which waits for a handshake-message	giving
	       the  pseudo-terminal's  notion of the screen size.  The default
	       is "false" on Linux and OS X systems, "true" otherwise.

       sameName (class SameName)
	       If the value of this resource is "true", xterm  does  not  send
	       title and icon name change requests when the request would have
	       no effect: the name is not changed.  This has the advantage  of
	       preventing  flicker  and the disadvantage of requiring an extra
	       round trip to the server to find out the	 previous  value.   In
	       practice	 this  should  never  be  a  problem.	The default is
	       "true".

       scaleHeight (class ScaleHeight)
	       Scale line-height values by the resource value, which  is  lim-
	       ited to "0.9" to "1.5".	The default value is "1.0",

	       While this resource applies to either bitmap or TrueType fonts,
	       its main purpose is to help work around incompatible changes in
	       the  Xft library's font metrics.	 Xterm checks the font metrics
	       to find what the library claims are the bounding boxes for each
	       glyph  (character).   However,  some of Xft's features (such as
	       the autohinter) can cause the glyphs to be scaled  larger  than
	       the bounding boxes, and be partly overwritten by the next row.

	       See useClipping for a related resource.

       scoFunctionKeys (class ScoFunctionKeys)
	       Specifies  whether  or not SCO Function Key escape codes should
	       be generated for	 function  keys	 instead  of  standard	escape
	       sequences.

	       See also the keyboardType resource.

       sessionMgt (class SessionMgt)
	       If  the value of this resource is "true", xterm sets up session
	       manager callbacks for XtNdieCallback and XtNsaveCallback.   The
	       default is "true".

       sunFunctionKeys (class SunFunctionKeys)
	       Specifies  whether  or not Sun Function Key escape codes should
	       be generated for	 function  keys	 instead  of  standard	escape
	       sequences.

	       See also the keyboardType resource.

       sunKeyboard (class SunKeyboard)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  Sun/PC  keyboard  layout should be
	       assumed rather than DEC VT220.  This causes the keypad  "+'  to
	       be mapped to ",'.  and CTRL F1-F12 to F11-F20, depending on the
	       setting of the ctrlFKeys resource.  so  xterm  emulates	a  DEC
	       VT220  more  accurately.	  Otherwise (the default, with sunKey-
	       board set to "false"), xterm uses  PC-style  bindings  for  the
	       function keys and keypad.

	       PC-style	 bindings use the Shift, Alt, Control and Meta keys as
	       modifiers for function-keys and keypad (see the document	 Xterm
	       Control	Sequences  for	details).   The	 PC-style bindings are
	       analogous to PCTerm, but not the same  thing.   Normally	 these
	       bindings	 do  not  conflict  with  the  use  of the Meta key as
	       described for the eightBitInput resource.   If  they  do,  note
	       that the PC-style bindings are evaluated first.

	       See also the keyboardType resource.

       tcapFunctionKeys (class TcapFunctionKeys)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not function key escape codes read from
	       the termcap/terminfo entry should  be  generated	 for  function
	       keys  instead  of  standard  escape  sequences.	The default is
	       "false", i.e., this feature is disabled.

	       See also the keyboardType resource.

       termName (class TermName)
	       Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the TERM environ-
	       ment variable.

       title (class Title)
	       Specifies  a string that may be used by the window manager when
	       displaying this application.

       toolBar (class ToolBar)
	       Specifies whether or not the toolbar should be displayed.   The
	       default is "true".

       ttyModes (class TtyModes)
	       Specifies a string containing terminal setting keywords and the
	       characters to which they	 may  be  bound.   Allowable  keywords
	       include:	 brk,  dsusp,  eof,  eol,  eol2, erase, erase2, flush,
	       intr, kill, lnext, quit,	 rprnt,	 start,	 status,  stop,	 susp,
	       swtch  and weras.  Control characters may be specified as ^char
	       (e.g., ^c or ^u) and ^? may be used to indicate	delete	(127).
	       Use ^- to denote undef.	Use \034 to represent ^\, since a lit-
	       eral backslash in an X resource escapes the next character.

	       This is very useful for overriding the  default	terminal  set-
	       tings  without  having  to  do  an  stty every time an xterm is
	       started.	 Note, however, that the stty program on a given  host
	       may use different keywords; xterm's table is built-in.

	       If  the	ttyModes  resource  specifies  a value for erase, that
	       overrides the ptyInitialErase  resource	setting,  i.e.,	 xterm
	       initializes the terminal to match that value.

       useInsertMode (class UseInsertMode)
	       Force  use  of insert mode by adding appropriate entries to the
	       TERMCAP environment variable.  This is  useful  if  the	system
	       termcap is broken.  The default is "false".

       utmpDisplayId (class UtmpDisplayId)
	       Specifies whether or not xterm should try to record the display
	       identifier (display number and screen number) as	 well  as  the
	       hostname in the system utmp log file.  The default is "true".

       utmpInhibit (class UtmpInhibit)
	       Specifies  whether or not xterm should try to record the user's
	       terminal in the system utmp log file.  If true, xterm will  not
	       try.  The default is "false".

       waitForMap (class WaitForMap)
	       Specifies whether or not xterm should wait for the initial win-
	       dow map before starting the subprocess.	This is	 part  of  the
	       ptyHandshake  logic.   When  xterm  is directed to wait in this
	       fashion, it passes the terminal size from the  display  end  of
	       the  pseudo-terminal  to	 the  terminal	I/O  connection, e.g.,
	       according to the window manager.	 Otherwise, it uses  the  size
	       as  given in resource values or command-line option -geom.  The
	       default is "false".

       zIconBeep (class ZIconBeep)
	       Same as -ziconbeep command line argument.  If the value of this
	       resource	 is  non-zero, xterms that produce output while iconi-
	       fied will cause an XBell sound at the  given  volume  and  have
	       "*** "  prepended  to  their icon titles.  Most window managers
	       will detect this change immediately, showing you	 which	window
	       has  the	 output.   (A  similar feature was in x10 xterm.)  The
	       default is "false".

       zIconTitleFormat (class ZIconTitleFormat)
	       Allow customization of the string used in  the  zIconBeep  fea-
	       ture.  The default value is "*** %s".

	       If  the	resource value contains a "%s", then xterm inserts the
	       icon title at that point rather than prepending the  string  to
	       the icon title.	(Only the first "%s" is used).

   VT100 Widget Resources
       The  following  resources  are  specified  as  part of the vt100 widget
       (class	VT100).	   They	  are	specified   by	 patterns   such    as
       "XTerm.vt100.NAME".

       If  your	 xterm is configured to support the "toolbar", then those pat-
       terns need an extra level for the form-widget which holds  the  toolbar
       and  vt100  widget.   A	wildcard between the top-level "XTerm" and the
       "vt100" widget makes the	 resource  settings  work  for	either,	 e.g.,
       "XTerm*vt100.NAME".

       activeIcon (class ActiveIcon)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  active icon windows are to be used
	       when the xterm window is iconified, if this feature is compiled
	       into  xterm.   The active icon is a miniature representation of
	       the content of the  window  and	will  update  as  the  content
	       changes.	  Not all window managers necessarily support applica-
	       tion icon windows.  Some window	managers  will	allow  you  to
	       enter  keystrokes  into the active icon window.	The default is
	       "default".

	       Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case)  or  the	number
	       shown in parentheses:

	       false (0)
		      No active icon is shown.

	       true (1)
		      The  active  icon	 is  shown.  If you are using twm, use
		      this setting to enable active-icons.

	       default (2)
		      xterm checks at startup, and shows an active  icon  only
		      for  window managers which it can identify and which are
		      known to support the feature.  These are fvwm (full sup-
		      port),  and window maker (limited).  A few other windows
		      managers (such as twm and ctwm)  support	active	icons,
		      but  do  not support the extensions which allow xterm to
		      identify the window manager.

       allowBoldFonts (class AllowBoldFonts)
	       When set to "false", xterm will not use bold fonts.  This over-
	       rides  both  the	 alwaysBoldMode	 and  the  boldMode resources.
	       alwaysBoldMode (class AlwaysBoldMode)

       allowC1Printable (class AllowC1Printable)
	       If true, overrides the mapping of C1 controls  (codes  128-159)
	       to  make	 them be treated as if they were printable characters.
	       Although this corresponds to no particular standard, some users
	       insist it is a VT100.  The default is "false".

       allowColorOps (class AllowColorOps)
	       Specifies  whether control sequences that set/query the dynamic
	       colors should be allowed.  ANSI colors are unaffected  by  this
	       resource setting.  The default is "true".

       allowFontOps (class AllowFontOps)
	       Specifies  whether  control  sequences  that set/query the font
	       should be allowed.  The default is "true".

       allowPasteControls (class AllowPasteControls)
	    If true, allow control characters  such  as	 BEL  and  CAN	to  be
	    pasted.   Formatting characters (tab, newline) are always allowed.
	    Other C0 control characters are suppressed unless this resource is
	    enabled.   The exact set of control characters (C0 and C1) depends
	    upon whether UTF-8 encoding is used, as well as the	 allowC1Print-
	    able resource.  The default is "false".

       allowScrollLock (class AllowScrollLock)
	       Specifies  whether  control sequences that set/query the Scroll
	       Lock key should be allowed, as well as whether the Scroll  Lock
	       key responds to user's keypress.	 The default is "false".

	       When this feature is enabled, xterm will sense the state of the
	       Scroll Lock key each time  it  acquires	focus.	 Pressing  the
	       Scroll Lock key toggles xterm's internal state, as well as tog-
	       gling the associated LED.  While the  Scroll  Lock  is  active,
	       xterm attempts to keep a viewport on the same set of lines.  If
	       the current viewport is scrolled past  the  limit  set  by  the
	       saveLines resource, then Scroll Lock has no further effect.

	       The  reason for setting the default to "false" is to avoid user
	       surprise.  This key is generally unused in keyboard  configura-
	       tions,  and has not acquired a standard meaning even when it is
	       used in that manner.  Consequently, users have assigned it  for
	       ad hoc purposes.

       allowSendEvents (class AllowSendEvents)
	       Specifies  whether or not synthetic key and button events (gen-
	       erated using the X protocol SendEvent request) should be inter-
	       preted  or  discarded.  The default is "false" meaning they are
	       discarded.  Note that allowing such events would create a  very
	       large  security	hole,  therefore enabling this resource force-
	       fully disables  the  allowXXXOps	 resources.   The  default  is
	       "false".

       allowTcapOps (class AllowTcapOps)
	       Specifies  whether  control sequences that query the terminal's
	       notion of its function-key  strings,  as	 termcap  or  terminfo
	       capabilities should be allowed.	The default is "true".

	       A  few programs, e.g., vim, use this feature to get an accurate
	       description of the terminal's capabilities, independent of  the
	       termcap/terminfo setting:

	       o   xterm can tell the querying program how many colors it sup-
		   ports.  This is a constant, depending on  how  it  is  com-
		   piled,  typically  16.   It	does  not  change if you alter
		   resource settings, e.g., the boldColors resource.

	       o   xterm can tell the querying program what strings  are  sent
		   by  modified (shift-, control-, alt-) function- and keypad-
		   keys.  Reporting control- and alt-modifiers	is  a  feature
		   that relies on the ncurses extended naming.

       allowTitleOps (class AllowTitleOps)
	       Specifies  whether  control  sequences  that  modify the window
	       title or icon name should be allowed.  The default is "true".

       allowWindowOps (class AllowWindowOps)
	       Specifies whether extended window control sequences (as used in
	       dtterm)	should	be  allowed.   These  include  several control
	       sequences which manipulate the window size or position, as well
	       as  reporting these values and the title or icon name.  Each of
	       these can be abused in a script; curiously enough most terminal
	       emulators  that	implement  these restrict only a small part of
	       the repertoire.	For fine-tuning, see disallowedWindowOps.  The
	       default is "false".

       altIsNotMeta (class AltIsNotMeta)
	       If  "true", treat the Alt-key as if it were the Meta-key.  Your
	       keyboard may happen to be configured so they are the same.  But
	       if  they	 are  not, this allows you to use the same prefix- and
	       shifting operations with the Alt-key as with the Meta-key.  See
	       altSendsEscape and metaSendsEscape.  The default is "false".

       altSendsEscape (class AltSendsEscape)
	       This  is an additional keyboard operation that may be processed
	       after the logic for metaSendsEscape.  It is only	 available  if
	       the altIsNotMeta resource is set.

	       o   If  "true",	Alt  characters (a character combined with the
		   modifier associated with left/right Alt-keys) are converted
		   into	 a  two-character  sequence  with the character itself
		   preceded by ESC.  This applies as well to function key con-
		   trol	 sequences, unless xterm sees that Alt is used in your
		   key translations.

	       o   If "false", Alt characters input from the keyboard cause  a
		   shift  to 8-bit characters (just like metaSendsEscape).  By
		   combining the Alt- and Meta-modifiers, you can create  cor-
		   responding combinations of ESC-prefix and 8-bit characters.

	       The  default is "False".	 Xterm provides a menu option for tog-
	       gling this resource.

       alternateScroll (class ScrollCond)
	       If "true", the scroll-back and scroll-forw  actions  send  cur-
	       sor-up  and  -down  keys when xterm is displaying the alternate
	       screen.	The default is "false".

	       The alternateScroll state can  also  be	set  using  a  control
	       sequence.

       alwaysBoldMode (class AlwaysBoldMode)
	       Specifies  whether  xterm  should  check if the normal and bold
	       fonts are distinct before deciding whether to use  overstriking
	       to  simulate  bold fonts.  If this resource is true, xterm does
	       not make the check for distinct fonts when deciding how to han-
	       dle the boldMode resource.  The default is "false".

	       boldMode	  alwaysBoldMode   Comparison	Action
	       ----------------------------------------------------
	       false	  false		   ignored	use font
	       false	  true		   ignored	use font
	       true	  false		   same		overstrike
	       true	  false		   different	use font
	       true	  true		   ignored	overstrike

	       This resource is used only for bitmap fonts:

	       o   When	 using	bitmap	fonts,	it  is	possible that the font
		   server will approximate the bold font by rescaling it  from
		   a  different	 font  size than expected.  The alwaysBoldMode
		   resource allows the user to override the  (sometimes	 poor)
		   resulting  bold  font  with overstriking (which is at least
		   consistent).

	       o   The problem does not	 occur	with  TrueType	fonts  (though
		   there  can  be  other  unnecessary issues such as different
		   coverage of the normal and bold fonts).

	       As an alternative, setting the allowBoldFonts resource to false
	       overrides both the alwaysBoldMode and the boldMode resources.

       alwaysHighlight (class AlwaysHighlight)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not xterm should always display a high-
	       lighted text cursor.  By default (if this resource is false), a
	       hollow  text cursor is displayed whenever the pointer moves out
	       of the window or the window loses the input focus.  The default
	       is "false".

       alwaysUseMods (class AlwaysUseMods)
	       Override the numLock resource, telling xterm to use the Alt and
	       Meta  modifiers	to  construct  parameters  for	function   key
	       sequences  even	if  those modifiers appear in the translations
	       resource.  Normally xterm checks if Alt or Meta is  used	 in  a
	       translation  that  would	 conflict with function key modifiers,
	       and will ignore these modifiers	in  that  special  case.   The
	       default is "false".

       answerbackString (class AnswerbackString)
	       Specifies  the  string  that  xterm sends in response to an ENQ
	       (control/E) character from the host.  The default  is  a	 blank
	       string,	i.e., "".  A hardware VT100 implements this feature as
	       a setup option.

       appcursorDefault (class AppcursorDefault)
	       If "true", the cursor keys are initially in  application	 mode.
	       This  is the same as the VT102 private DECCKM mode, The default
	       is "false".

       appkeypadDefault (class AppkeypadDefault)
	       If "true", the keypad keys are initially in  application	 mode.
	       The default is "false".

       autoWrap (class AutoWrap)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  auto-wraparound should be enabled.
	       This is the same as the VT102 DECAWM.  The default is "true".

       awaitInput (class AwaitInput)
	       Specifies whether or not the xterm uses a 50 millisecond	 time-
	       out  to	await  input (i.e., to support the Xaw3d arrow scroll-
	       bar).  The default is "false".

       backarrowKey (class BackarrowKey)
	       Specifies whether the backarrow key transmits a	backspace  (8)
	       or delete (127) character.  This corresponds to the DECBKM con-
	       trol  sequence.	 A  "true"  value  specifies  backspace.   The
	       default	is  "False".   Pressing	 the  control key toggles this
	       behavior.

       background (class Background)
	       Specifies the color to use for the background  of  the  window.
	       The default is "XtDefaultBackground".

       bellIsUrgent (class BellIsUrgent)
	       Specifies  whether  to set the Urgency hint for the window man-
	       ager when making a bell sound.  The default is "false".

       bellOnReset (class BellOnReset)
	       Specifies whether to sound a bell when doing a hard reset.  The
	       default is "true".

       bellSuppressTime (class BellSuppressTime)
	       Number  of  milliseconds	 after	a  bell command is sent during
	       which additional bells will be suppressed.  Default is 200.  If
	       set  non-zero,  additional  bells will also be suppressed until
	       the server reports that processing of the first bell  has  been
	       completed; this feature is most useful with the visible bell.

       boldColors (class ColorMode)
	       Specifies  whether  to  combine bold attribute with colors like
	       the IBM PC, i.e., map colors 0 through 7 to  colors  8  through
	       15.   These  normally  are the brighter versions of the first 8
	       colors, hence bold.  The default is "true".

       boldFont (class BoldFont)
	       Specifies the name of the bold font to  use  instead  of	 over-
	       striking.  There is no default for this resource.

	       This font must be the same height and width as the normal font,
	       otherwise it is ignored.	 If only one of	 the  normal  or  bold
	       fonts  is specified, it will be used as the normal font and the
	       bold font will be produced by overstriking this font.

	       See  also  the  discussion  of  boldMode	  and	alwaysBoldMode
	       resources.

       boldMode (class BoldMode)
	       This  specifies	whether	 or  not  text with the bold attribute
	       should be overstruck to simulate bold  fonts  if	 the  resolved
	       bold  font is the same as the normal font.  It may be desirable
	       to disable bold fonts when color is being  used	for  the  bold
	       attribute.

	       Note that xterm has one bold font which you may set explicitly.
	       Xterm attempts to derive a bold font for the other font	selec-
	       tions (font1 through font6).  If it cannot find a bold font, it
	       will use the normal font.  In each case (whether	 the  explicit
	       resource or the derived font), if the normal and bold fonts are
	       distinct, this resource has no effect.  The default is "true".

	       See the alwaysBoldMode resource which can modify	 the  behavior
	       of this resource.

	       Although	 xterm	attempts  to derive a bold font for other font
	       selections, the font server may not  cooperate.	 Since	X11R6,
	       bitmap  fonts have been scaled.	The font server claims to pro-
	       vide the bold font that xterm requests, but the result  is  not
	       always  readable.   XFree86  introduced	a feature which can be
	       used to suppress the scaling.  In the X server's	 configuration
	       file  (e.g.,  "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"), you can add ":unscaled" to
	       the end of the directory specification for  the	"misc"	fonts,
	       which  comprise	the  fixed-pitch fonts that are used by xterm.
	       For example

		   FontPath		    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/"

	       would become

		   FontPath		    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"

	       Depending on your configuration, the font server may  have  its
	       own  configuration  file.  The same ":unscaled" can be added to
	       its configuration file at the end of the	 directory  specifica-
	       tion for "misc".

	       The  bitmap  scaling feature is also used by xterm to implement
	       VT102 double-width and double-height characters.

       brokenLinuxOSC (class BrokenLinuxOSC)
	       If true, xterm applies a workaround to ignore malformed control
	       sequences  that a Linux script might send.  Compare the palette
	       control sequences documented  in	 console_codes	with  ECMA-48.
	       The default is "true".

       brokenSelections (class BrokenSelections)
	       If  true,  xterm in 8-bit mode will interpret STRING selections
	       as carrying text in the current	locale's  encoding.   Normally
	       STRING  selections carry ISO-8859-1 encoded text.  Setting this
	       resource to "true" violates the ICCCM; it may, however, be use-
	       ful for interacting with some broken X clients.	The default is
	       "false".

       brokenStringTerm (class BrokenStringTerm)
	       provides a work-around for some ISDN  routers  which  start  an
	       application  control string without completing it.  Set this to
	       "true" if xterm appears to freeze when connecting.  The default
	       is "false".

	       Xterm's	state  parser  recognizes  several  types  of  control
	       strings which can contain text, e.g.,

	       APC (Application Program Command),
	       DCS (Device Control String),
	       OSC (Operating System Command),
	       PM (Privacy Message), and
	       SOS (Start of String),

	       Each should end with a string-terminator (a  special  character
	       which  cannot appear in these strings).	Ordinary control char-
	       acters found within the string are not ignored; they  are  pro-
	       cessed without interfering with the process of accumulating the
	       control string's content.  Xterm recognizes these  controls  in
	       all  modes,  although  some  of the functions may be suppressed
	       after parsing the control.

	       When enabled, this feature allows the  user  to	exit  from  an
	       unterminated  control string when any of these ordinary control
	       characters are found:

	       control/D (used as an end of file in many shells),
	       control/H (backspace),
	       control/I (tab-feed),
	       control/J (line feed aka newline),
	       control/K (vertical tab),
	       control/L (form feed),
	       control/M (carriage return),
	       control/N (shift-out),
	       control/O (shift-in),
	       control/Q (XOFF),
	       control/X (cancel)

       c132 (class C132)
	       Specifies whether or not the  VT102  DECCOLM  escape  sequence,
	       used  to	 switch between 80 and 132 columns, should be honored.
	       The default is "false".

       cacheDoublesize (class CacheDoublesize)
	       Tells whether to cache double-sized fonts by xterm.   Set  this
	       to zero to disable double-sized fonts altogether.

       cdXtraScroll (class CdXtraScroll)
	       Specifies whether xterm should scroll to a new page when clear-
	       ing the whole screen.  Like tiXtraScroll, the  intent  of  this
	       option is to provide a picture of the full-screen application's
	       display on the scrollback before	 wiping	 out  the  text.   The
	       default for this resource is "false".

       charClass (class CharClass)
	       Specifies  comma-separated lists of character class bindings of
	       the form [low-]high:value.  These are used in determining which
	       sets  of	 characters  should be treated the same when doing cut
	       and paste.  See the CHARACTER CLASSES section.

       cjkWidth (class CjkWidth)
	       Specifies whether xterm	should	follow	the  traditional  East
	       Asian  width  convention.  When turned on, characters with East
	       Asian Ambiguous (A) category in UTR 11 have a column  width  of
	       2.   You may have to set this option to "true" if you have some
	       old East Asian terminal based programs that assume  that	 line-
	       drawing	characters have a column width of 2.  If this resource
	       is false, the mkWidth resource controls the choice between  the
	       system's	 wcwidth  and xterm's built-in tables.	The default is
	       "false".

       color0 (class Color0)

       color1 (class Color1)

       color2 (class Color2)

       color3 (class Color3)

       color4 (class Color4)

       color5 (class Color5)

       color6 (class Color6)

       color7 (class Color7)
	       These specify the  colors  for  the  ISO-6429  extension.   The
	       defaults	 are,  respectively,  black,  red3, green3, yellow3, a
	       customizable dark  blue,	 magenta3,  cyan3,  and	 gray90.   The
	       default	shades of color are chosen to allow the colors 8-15 to
	       be used as brighter versions.

       color8 (class Color8)

       color9 (class Color9)

       color10 (class Color10)

       color11 (class Color11)

       color12 (class Color12)

       color13 (class Color13)

       color14 (class Color14)

       color15 (class Color15)
	       These specify the colors for the ISO-6429 extension if the bold
	       attribute  is  also  enabled.   The default resource values are
	       respectively, gray30, red, green, yellow, a customizable	 light
	       blue, magenta, cyan, and white.

       color16 (class Color16)

       through

       color255 (class Color255)
	       These  specify  the  colors  for	 the 256-color extension.  The
	       default resource values are for colors 16 through 231 to make a
	       6x6x6  color  cube,  and	 colors	 232  through  255  to	make a
	       grayscale ramp.

	       Resources past color15 are available as a compile-time  option.
	       Due to a hardcoded limit in the X libraries on the total number
	       of resources (to 400), the resources for 256-colors are omitted
	       when  wide-character  support  and  luit	 are enabled.  Besides
	       inconsistent behavior  if  only	part  of  the  resources  were
	       allowed,	 determining  the exact cutoff is difficult, and the X
	       libraries tend to crash if the number of resources exceeds  the
	       limit.	The  color  palette  is	 still initialized to the same
	       default values, and can be modified via control sequences.

	       On the other hand, the resource limit does permit including the
	       entire range for 88-colors.

       colorAttrMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies whether colorBD, colorBL, colorRV, and colorUL should
	       override ANSI colors.  If not, these are displayed only when no
	       ANSI  colors have been set for the corresponding position.  The
	       default is "false".

       colorBD (class ColorBD)
	       This specifies the color to use to display bold	characters  if
	       the  "colorBDMode"  resource is enabled.	 The default is "XtDe-
	       faultForeground".

	       See also the veryBoldColors  resource  which  allows  combining
	       bold and color.

       colorBDMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies  whether characters with the bold attribute should be
	       displayed in color or as bold characters.   Note	 that  setting
	       colorMode off disables all colors, including bold.  The default
	       is "false".

       colorBL (class ColorBL)
	       This specifies the color to use to display blink characters  if
	       the  "colorBLMode"  resource is enabled.	 The default is "XtDe-
	       faultForeground".

	       See also the veryBoldColors  resource  which  allows  combining
	       underline and color.

       colorBLMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies whether characters with the blink attribute should be
	       displayed in color.  Note that setting colorMode	 off  disables
	       all colors, including this.  The default is "false".

       colorMode (class ColorMode)
	       Specifies  whether  or not recognition of ANSI (ISO-6429) color
	       change escape sequences should  be  enabled.   The  default  is
	       "true".

       colorRV (class ColorRV)
	       This  specifies	the color to use to display reverse characters
	       if the "colorRVMode"  resource  is  enabled.   The  default  is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".

	       See  also  the  veryBoldColors  resource which allows combining
	       reverse and color.

       colorRVMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies whether characters with the reverse attribute	should
	       be  displayed  in  color.  Note that setting colorMode off dis-
	       ables all colors, including this.  The default is "false".

       colorUL (class ColorUL)
	       This specifies the color to use to display  underlined  charac-
	       ters  if the "colorULMode" resource is enabled.	The default is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".

	       See also the veryBoldColors  resource  which  allows  combining
	       underline and color.

       colorULMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies  whether  characters  with  the  underline  attribute
	       should be displayed in color or as underlined characters.  Note
	       that  setting  colorMode	 off  disables	all  colors, including
	       underlining.  The default is "false".

       combiningChars (class CombiningChars)
	       Specifies the number of wide-characters which can be stored  in
	       a  cell	to overstrike (combine) with the base character of the
	       cell.  This can be set to values in the	range  0  to  4.   The
	       default is "2".

       ctrlFKeys (class CtrlFKeys)
	       In  VT220  keyboard  mode (see sunKeyboard resource), specifies
	       the amount by which to shift F1-F12 given  a  control  modifier
	       (CTRL).	This allows you to generate key symbols for F10-F20 on
	       a Sun/PC keyboard.  The default is "10", which means that  CTRL
	       F1 generates the key symbol for F11.

       curses (class Curses)
	       Specifies  whether or not the last column bug in more(1) should
	       be worked around.  See the -cu option for details.  The default
	       is "false".

       cursorBlink (class CursorBlink)
	       Specifies  whether  to  make  the cursor blink.	The default is
	       "false".

	       Xterm uses  two	variables  to  determine  whether  the	cursor
	       blinks.	One is set by this resource.  The other is set by con-
	       trol sequences (private mode 12 and DECSCUSR).  Xterm tests the
	       XOR of the two variables.

       cursorColor (class CursorColor)
	       Specifies the color to use for the text cursor.	The default is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".  By default, xterm attempts to keep this
	       color  from  being  the	same as the background color, since it
	       draws the cursor by filling the background of a text cell.  The
	       same  restriction applies to control sequences which may change
	       this color.

	       Setting this resource overrides most of xterm's adjustments  to
	       cursor color.  It will still use reverse-video to disallow some
	       cases, such as a black cursor on a black background.

       cursorOffTime (class CursorOffTime)
	       Specifies the duration of the "off" part of  the	 cursor	 blink
	       cycle-time  in  milliseconds.   The same timer is used for text
	       blinking.  The default is "300".

       cursorOnTime (class CursorOnTime)
	       Specifies the duration of the "on" part	of  the	 cursor	 blink
	       cycle-time,  in	milliseconds.  The same timer is used for text
	       blinking.  The default is "600".

       cutNewline (class CutNewline)
	       If "false", triple clicking to select a line does  not  include
	       the  Newline at the end of the line.  If "true", the Newline is
	       selected.  The default is "true".

       cursorUnderLine (class CursorUnderLine)
	       Specifies whether to make the cursor underlined or a box.   The
	       default is "false".

       cutToBeginningOfLine (class CutToBeginningOfLine)
	       If  "false", triple clicking to select a line selects only from
	       the current word	 forward.   If	"true",	 the  entire  line  is
	       selected.  The default is "true".

       decTerminalID (class DecTerminalID)
	       Specifies  the  emulation  level	 (100=VT100, 220=VT220, etc.),
	       used to	determine  the	type  of  response  to	a  DA  control
	       sequence.   Leading  non-digit  characters  are	ignored, e.g.,
	       "vt100" and "100" are the same.	The default is "420".

       defaultString (class DefaultString)
	       Specify the character (or string) which xterm  will  substitute
	       when  pasted  text  includes a character which cannot be repre-
	       sented in the current encoding.	For  instance,	pasting	 UTF-8
	       text  into a display of ISO-8859-1 characters will only be able
	       to display codes 0-255, while UTF-8 text	 can  include  Unicode
	       values above 255.  The default is "#" (a single pound sign).

	       If the undisplayable text would be double-width, xterm will add
	       a space after the "#" character, to give roughly the same  lay-
	       out on the screen as the original text.

       deleteIsDEL (class DeleteIsDEL)
	       Specifies  whether  the Delete key on the editing keypad should
	       send DEL (127) or the VT220-style Remove	 escape	 sequence.   A
	       "false" value enables the latter.  The default is "Maybe".

       disallowedColorOps (class DisallowedColorOps)
	       Specify	which  features	 will  be disabled if allowColorOps is
	       false.  This is a comma-separated list of names.	  The  default
	       value is
	       SetColor,GetColor,GetAnsiColor

	       The  names are listed below.  xterm ignores capitalization, but
	       they are shown in mixed-case for clarity.

	       SetColor
		    Set a specific dynamic color.

	       GetColor
		    Report the current setting of a given dynamic color.

	       GetAnsiColor
		    Report the current setting of a given ANSI color (actually
		    any of the colors set via ANSI-style controls).

       disallowedFontOps (class DisallowedFontOps)
	       Specify	which  features	 will  be  disabled if allowFontOps is
	       false.  This is a comma-separated list of names.	  The  default
	       value is
	       SetFont,GetFont

	       The  names are listed below.  xterm ignores capitalization, but
	       they are shown in mixed-case for clarity.

	       SetFont
		    Set the specified font.

	       GetFont
		    Report the specified font.

       disallowedTcapOps (class DisallowedTcapOps)
	       Specify which features will  be	disabled  if  allowTcapOps  is
	       false.	This  is a comma-separated list of names.  The default
	       value is
	       SetTcap,GetTcap

	       The names are listed below.  xterm ignores capitalization,  but
	       they are shown in mixed-case for clarity.

	       SetTcap
		    (not implemented)

	       GetTcap
		    Report specified function- and other special keys.

       disallowedWindowOps (class DisallowedWindowOps)
	       Specify	which  features	 will be disabled if allowWindowOps is
	       false.  This is a comma-separated list of names,	 or  (for  the
	       controls	 adapted  from	dtterm	the  operation	number).   The
	       default value is
	       20,21,SetXprop,SetSelection

	       The names are listed below.  xterm ignores capitalization,  but
	       they  are  shown in mixed-case for clarity.  Where a number can
	       be used as an alternative, it is given in parentheses after the
	       name.

	       GetIconTitle (20)
		    Report xterm window's icon label as a string.

	       GetScreenSizeChars (19)
		    Report the size of the screen in characters as numbers.

	       GetSelection
		    Report selection data as a base64 string.

		    Report xterm window position as numbers.

	       GetWinSizeChars (18)
		    Report the size of the text area in characters as numbers.

	       GetWinSizePixels (14)
		    Report xterm window in pixels as numbers.

	       GetWinState (11)
		    Report xterm window state as a number.

	       GetWinTitle (21)
		    Report xterm window's title as a string.

	       LowerWin (6)
		    Lower  the	xterm  window  to  the	bottom of the stacking
		    order.

	       MaximizeWin (9)
		    Maximize window (i.e., resize to screen size).

	       FullscreenWin (10)
		    Use full screen (i.e., resize to screen size, without win-
		    dow decorations).

	       MinimizeWin (2)
		    Iconify window.

	       PopTitle (23)
		    Pop title from internal stack.

	       PushTitle (22)
		    Push title to internal stack.

	       RaiseWin (5)
		    Raise the xterm window to the front of the stacking order.

	       RefreshWin (7)

	       SetWinSizePixels (4)
		    Resize the xterm window to given size in pixels.

	       SetXprop
		    Set X property on top-level window.

       dynamicColors (class DynamicColors)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  escape  sequences to change colors
	       assigned to different attributes are recognized.

       eightBitControl (class EightBitControl)
	       Specifies whether or not control sequences sent by the terminal
	       should  be  eight-bit  characters  or  escape  sequences.   The
	       default is "false".

       eightBitInput (class EightBitInput)
	       If "true", Meta characters (a  single-byte  character  combined
	       with  the  Meta	modifier key) input from the keyboard are pre-
	       sented as a single character, modified according to the	eight-
	       BitMeta	resource.   If	"false", Meta characters are converted
	       into a two-character sequence with the  character  itself  pre-
	       ceded by ESC.  The default is "true".

	       The  metaSendsEscape  and altSendsEscape resources may override
	       this feature.  Generally keyboards do not have  a  key  labeled
	       "Meta",	but "Alt" keys are common, and they are conventionally
	       used for "Meta".	 If they were synonymous, it would  have  been
	       reasonable  to  name  this resource "altSendsEscape", reversing
	       its sense.  For more background on this, see the meta  function
	       in curses.

	       Note  that  the Alt key is not necessarily the same as the Meta
	       modifier.  xmodmap lists your key modifiers.  X	defines	 modi-
	       fiers  for  shift,  (caps) lock and control, as well as 5 addi-
	       tional modifiers which are generally used to configure key mod-
	       ifiers.	 xterm inspects the same information to find the modi-
	       fier associated with either Meta key (left or right), and  uses
	       that  key  as the Meta modifier.	 It also looks for the NumLock
	       key, to recognize the modifier which is associated with that.

	       If your xmodmap configuration uses the same keycodes  for  Alt-
	       and  Meta-keys,	xterm  will  only see the Alt-key definitions,
	       since those are tested before  Meta-keys.   NumLock  is	tested
	       first.	It is important to keep these keys distinct; otherwise
	       some of xterm's functionality is not available.

	       The eightBitInput resource  is  tested  at  startup  time.   If
	       "true",	the  xterm  tries to put the terminal into 8-bit mode.
	       If "false", on startup, xterm tries to put  the	terminal  into
	       7-bit  mode.   For  some	 configurations	 this is unsuccessful;
	       failure is ignored.  After startup, xterm does not  change  the
	       terminal between 8-bit and 7-bit mode.

	       As  originally  implemented  in X11, the resource value did not
	       change after startup.  However (since patch #216 in 2006) xterm
	       can  modify eightBitInput after startup via a control sequence.
	       The corresponding terminfo capabilities smm (set meta mode) and
	       rmm  (reset  meta  mode)	 have been recognized by bash for some
	       time.  Interestingly enough, bash's notion of "meta mode"  dif-
	       fers  from  the	standard  definition (in the terminfo manual),
	       which describes the change to the eighth bit  of	 a  character.
	       It  happens  that  bash	views "meta mode" as the ESC character
	       that xterm puts before a character when a special meta  key  is
	       pressed.	  bash's early documentation talks about the ESC char-
	       acter and ignores the eighth bit.

       eightBitMeta (class EightBitMeta)
	       This controls the way xterm modifies the eighth bit of  a  sin-
	       gle-byte	 key  when  the	 eightBitInput	resource  is set.  The
	       default is "locale".

	       The resource value is a string, evaluated as  a	boolean	 after
	       startup.

	       false
		    The key is sent unmodified.

	       locale
		    The	 key  is  modified  only  if the locale uses eight-bit
		    encoding.

	       true The key is sent modified.

	       never
		    The key is always sent unmodified.

	       Except for the never choice, xterm honors the terminfo capabil-
	       ities  smm  (set meta mode) and rmm (reset meta mode), allowing
	       the feature to be turned on or off dynamically.

	       If eightBitMeta is enabled when the locale  uses	 UTF-8,	 xterm
	       encodes the value as UTF-8 (since patch #183 in 2003).

       eightBitOutput (class EightBitOutput)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  eight-bit characters sent from the
	       host should be accepted as is or stripped  when	printed.   The
	       default is "true", which means that they are accepted as is.

       eightBitSelectTypes (class EightBitSelectTypes)
	       Override	  xterm's   default   selection	  target   list	  (see
	       SELECT/PASTE) for selections in normal (ISO-8859-1) mode.   The
	       default	is  an empty string, i.e., "", which does not override
	       anything.

       faceName (class FaceName)
	       Specify the  pattern  for  scalable  fonts  selected  from  the
	       FreeType	 library if support for that library was compiled into
	       xterm.  There is no default value.

	       If not specified, or if there is no match for both  normal  and
	       bold fonts, xterm uses the bitmap font and related resources.

	       It  is  possible to select suitable bitmap fonts using a script
	       such as this:

		   #!/bin/sh
		   FONT=`xfontsel -print`
		   test -n "$FONT" && xfd -fn "$FONT"

	       However (even though xfd	 accepts  a  "-fa"  option  to	denote
	       FreeType	 fonts), xfontsel has not been similarly extended.  As
	       a workaround, you may try

		   fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family

	       to find a list of scalable fixed-pitch fonts which may be  used
	       for the faceName resource value.

       faceNameDoublesize (class FaceNameDoublesize)
	       Specify	a double-width scalable font for cases where an appli-
	       cation requires this, e.g., in CJK applications.	 There	is  no
	       default value.

	       If   the	 application  uses  double-wide	 characters  and  this
	       resource is not given, xterm will use a scaled version  of  the
	       font given by faceName.

       faceSize (class FaceSize)
	       Specify	the  pointsize	for  fonts  selected from the FreeType
	       library if support for that library was	compiled  into	xterm.
	       The default is "14.0" On the VT Fonts menu, this corresponds to
	       the Default entry.

	       Although the default is "14.0", this may not be the same as the
	       pointsize for the default bitmap font, i.e., that assigned with
	       the -fn option, or the font resource.  For example, the "fixed"
	       font  usually has a pointsize of "8.0".	If you set faceSize to
	       match the size of the bitmap font, then switching between  bit-
	       map  and	 TrueType fonts via the font menu will give comparable
	       sizes for the window.

	       You can specify the pointsize for TrueType fonts selected  with
	       the other size-related menu entries such as Medium, Huge, etc.,
	       by using one of the following resource values.  If you  do  not
	       specify	a  value, they default to "0.0", which causes xterm to
	       use the ratio of font sizes from the corresponding bitmap  font
	       resources to obtain a TrueType pointsize.

	       If  all	of the faceSize resources are set, then xterm will use
	       this information to determine the next smaller/larger  TrueType
	       font  for  the  larger-vt-font() and smaller-vt-font() actions.
	       If any are not set, xterm will use only the areas of the bitmap
	       fonts.

       faceSize1 (class FaceSize1)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the first alternative font.

       faceSize2 (class FaceSize2)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the second alternative font.

       faceSize3 (class FaceSize3)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the third alternative font.

       faceSize4 (class FaceSize4)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the fourth alternative font.

       faceSize5 (class FaceSize5)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the fifth alternative font.

       faceSize6 (class FaceSize6)
	       Specifies the pointsize of the sixth alternative font.

       font (class Font)
	       Specifies the name of the normal font.  The default is "fixed".

	       See  the discussion of the locale resource, which describes how
	       this font may be overridden.

	       NOTE: some resource files use patterns such as

		   *font: fixed

	       which are overly broad, affecting both

		   xterm.vt100.font

	       and

		   xterm.vt100.utf8Fonts.font

	       which is probably not what you intended.

       fastScroll (class FastScroll)
	       Modifies the effect of jump scroll (jumpScroll) by  suppressing
	       screen refreshes for the special case when output to the screen
	       has completely shifted the contents off-screen.	For  instance,
	       cat'ing a large file to the screen does this.

       font1 (class Font1)
	       Specifies the name of the first alternative font, corresponding
	       to "Unreadable" in the standard menu.

       font2 (class Font2)
	       Specifies the name of the second alternative font,  correspond-
	       ing to "Tiny" in the standard menu.

       font3 (class Font3)
	       Specifies the name of the third alternative font, corresponding
	       to "Small" in the standard menu.

       font4 (class Font4)
	       Specifies the name of the fourth alternative font,  correspond-
	       ing to "Medium" in the standard menu.

       font5 (class Font5)
	       Specifies the name of the fifth alternative font, corresponding
	       to "Large" in the standard menu.

       font6 (class Font6)
	       Specifies the name of the sixth alternative font, corresponding
	       to "Huge" in the standard menu.

       fontDoublesize (class FontDoublesize)
	       Specifies  whether  xterm should attempt to use font scaling to
	       draw double-sized characters.  Some older font  servers	cannot
	       do  this	 properly,  will  return misleading font metrics.  The
	       default is "true".  If disabled, xterm  will  simulate  double-
	       sized  characters  by  drawing  normal  characters  with spaces
	       between them.

       fontWarnings (class FontWarnings)
	       Specify whether xterm should report an error  if	 it  fails  to
	       load a font:

	       0    Never report an error (though the X libraries may).

	       1    Report  an	error if the font name was given as a resource
		    setting.

	       2    Always report an error on failure to load a font.

	       The default is "1".

       forceBoxChars (class ForceBoxChars)
	       Specifies whether xterm should assume the normal and bold fonts
	       have VT100 line-drawing characters:

	       o   The fixed-pitch ISO-8859-*-encoded fonts used by xterm nor-
		   mally have the VT100 line-drawing  glyphs  in  cells	 1-31.
		   Other  fixed-pitch  fonts  may be more attractive, but lack
		   these glyphs.

	       o   When using an ISO-10646-1 font and the  wideChars  resource
		   is  true,  xterm  uses  the	Unicode glyphs which match the
		   VT100 line-drawing glyphs.

	       If "false", xterm checks for missing glyphs  in	the  font  and
	       makes  line-drawing  characters directly as needed.  If "true",
	       xterm assumes the font does not contain the line-drawing	 char-
	       acters, and draws them directly.	 The default is "false".

       forcePackedFont (class ForcePackedFont)
	       Specifies whether xterm should use the maximum or minimum glyph
	       width when displaying using a bitmap  font.   Use  the  maximum
	       width  to help with proportional fonts.	The default is "true",
	       denoting the minimum width.

       foreground (class Foreground)
	       Specifies the color to use for displaying text in  the  window.
	       Setting	the class name instead of the instance name is an easy
	       way to have everything that would normally appear in  the  text
	       color change color.  The default is "XtDefaultForeground".

       formatOtherKeys (class FormatOtherKeys)
	       Overrides the format of the escape sequence used to report mod-
	       ified keys with the modifyOtherKeys resource.

	       0  send	modified  keys	as  parameters	for  function-key   27
		  (default).

	       1  send modified keys as parameters for CSI u.

       freeBoldBox (class FreeBoldBox)
	       Specifies  whether  xterm  should assume the bounding boxes for
	       normal and bold fonts are compatible.  If "false",  xterm  com-
	       pares  them  and	 will reject choices of bold fonts that do not
	       match the size of the normal font.   The	 default  is  "false",
	       which means that the comparison is performed.

       geometry (class Geometry)
	       Specifies  the preferred size and position of the VT102 window.
	       There is no default for this resource.

       highlightColor (class HighlightColor)
	       Specifies the color to  use  for	 the  background  of  selected
	       (highlighted)  text.   If  not  specified  (i.e.,  matching the
	       default foreground), reverse video is  used.   The  default  is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".

       highlightColorMode (class HighlightColorMode)
	       Specifies whether xterm should use highlightTextColor and high-
	       lightColor to override the reversed foreground/background  col-
	       ors  in	a  selection.  The default is unspecified: at startup,
	       xterm checks if those resources are set to something other than
	       the  default  foreground	 and  background colors.  Setting this
	       resource disables the check.

	       The following table shows the interaction of  the  highlighting
	       resources, abbreviated as shown to fit in this page:

	       HCM
		  highlightColorMode

	       HR highlightReverse

       highlightReverse (class HighlightReverse)
	       Specifies whether xterm should reverse the selection foreground
	       and background colors when selecting  text  with	 reverse-video
	       attribute.   This  applies only to the highlightColor and high-
	       lightTextColor resources, e.g., to match the  color  scheme  of
	       xwsh.   If "true", xterm reverses the colors, If "false", xterm
	       does not reverse colors, The default is "true".

       highlightSelection (class HighlightSelection)
	       If "false", selecting with the mouse highlights	all  positions
	       on  the	screen	between the beginning of the selection and the
	       current position.  If "true", xterm highlights only  the	 posi-
	       tions  that  contain text that can be selected.	The default is
	       "false".

	       Depending on the way your applications  write  to  the  screen,
	       there  may  be trailing blanks on a line.  Xterm stores data as
	       it is shown on the screen.  Erasing  the	 display  changes  the
	       internal state of each cell so it is not considered a blank for
	       the purpose of selection.  Blanks written since the last	 erase
	       are  selectable.	 If you do not wish to have trailing blanks in
	       a selection, use the trimSelection resource.

       highlightTextColor (class HighlightTextColor)
	       Specifies the color to  use  for	 the  foreground  of  selected
	       (highlighted)  text.   If  not  specified  (i.e.,  matching the
	       default background), reverse video is  used.   The  default  is
	       "XtDefaultBackground".

       hpLowerleftBugCompat (class HpLowerleftBugCompat)
	       Specifies  whether  to  work  around  a	bug in HP's xdb, which
	       ignores termcap and always sends ESC F to  move	to  the	 lower
	       left  corner.   "true"  causes  xterm  to  interpret ESC F as a
	       request to move to the lower left corner of  the	 screen.   The
	       default is "false".

       i18nSelections (class I18nSelections)
	       If  false,  xterm will not request the targets COMPOUND_TEXT or
	       TEXT.  The default is "true". It may be set to false  in	 order
	       to work around ICCCM violations by other X clients.

       iconBorderColor (class BorderColor)
	       Specifies  the  border color for the active icon window if this
	       feature is compiled into xterm.	Not all window	managers  will
	       make the icon border visible.

       iconBorderWidth (class BorderWidth)
	       Specifies  the  border width for the active icon window if this
	       feature is compiled into xterm.	The default is "2".   Not  all
	       window managers will make the border visible.

       iconFont (class IconFont)
	       Specifies  the  font  for  the miniature active icon window, if
	       this feature is compiled into xterm.  The default is "nil2".

       initialFont (class InitialFont)
	       Specifies which of the VT100 fonts to  use  initially.	Values
	       are  the	 same  as  for the set-vt-font action.	The default is
	       "d", i.e., "default".

       inputMethod (class XtCInputMethod)
	       Tells xterm which type of input method to  use.	 There	is  no
	       default method.

       internalBorder (class BorderWidth)
	       Specifies  the  number of pixels between the characters and the
	       window border.  The default is "2".

       italicULMode (class ColorAttrMode)
	       Specifies  whether  characters  with  the  underline  attribute
	       should  be displayed in an italic font or as underlined charac-
	       ters.  It is implemented only for TrueType fonts.

       jumpScroll (class JumpScroll)
	       Specifies whether or not jump scroll should be used.  This cor-
	       responds	 to  the  VT102	 DECSCLM private mode.	The default is
	       "true".	See fastScroll for a variation.

       keepSelection (class KeepSelection)
	       Specifies whether xterm will keep the selection even after  the
	       selected	 area was touched by some output to the terminal.  The
	       default is "true".

       keyboardDialect (class KeyboardDialect)
	       Specifies the initial keyboard dialect, as well as the  default
	       value  when the terminal is reset.  The value given is the same
	       as the final character in the control  sequences	 which	change
	       character  sets.	  The  default is "B", which corresponds to US
	       ASCII.

       nameKeymap (class NameKeymap)
	       See the discussion of the keymap() action.

       limitResize (class LimitResize)
	       Limits resizing of the screen via control sequence to  a	 given
	       multiple of the display dimensions.  The default is "1".

       locale (class Locale)
	       Specifies  how to use luit, an encoding converter between UTF-8
	       and locale encodings.  The resource value (ignoring  case)  may
	       be:

	       true
		   xterm  will	use  the  encoding  specified  by  the	users'
		   LC_CTYPE locale (i.e., LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG variables)
		   as  far  as	possible.  This is realized by always enabling
		   UTF-8 mode and invoking luit in non-UTF-8 locales.

	       medium
		   xterm will follow users' LC_CTYPE locale  only  for	UTF-8,
		   east	 Asian, and Thai locales, where the encodings were not
		   supported by conventional 8bit mode	with  changing	fonts.
		   For other locales, xterm will use conventional 8bit mode.

	       checkfont
		   If  mini-luit is compiled-in, xterm will check if a Unicode
		   font has been specified.  If so, it checks if the character
		   encoding  for  the  current	locale	is  POSIX,  Latin-1 or
		   Latin-9, uses the appropriate mapping to support those with
		   the	Unicode font.  For other encodings, xterm assumes that
		   UTF-8 encoding is required.

	       false
		   xterm will use conventional 8bit mode or UTF-8 mode accord-
		   ing to utf8 resource or -u8 option.

	       Any other value, e.g., "UTF-8" or "ISO8859-2", is assumed to be
	       an encoding name; luit will be invoked to support the encoding.
	       The  actual  list  of supported encodings depends on luit.  The
	       default is "medium".

	       Regardless of your locale and encoding, you need an ISO-10646-1
	       font to display the result.  Your configuration may not include
	       this font, or locale-support by xterm may not  be  needed.   At
	       startup,	 xterm	uses  a	 mechanism  equivalent to the load-vt-
	       fonts(utf8Fonts, Utf8Fonts) action to  load  font  name	subre-
	       sources	of  the VT100 widget.  That is, resource patterns such
	       as  "*vt100.utf8Fonts.font"  will  be  loaded,  and  (if	  this
	       resource	 is enabled), override the normal fonts.  If no subre-
	       sources are found, the  normal  fonts  such  as	"*vt100.font",
	       etc.,  are used.	 The resource files distributed with xterm use
	       ISO-10646-1 fonts, but do not rely on them unless you are using
	       the locale mechanism.

       localeFilter (class LocaleFilter)
	       Specifies  the  file  name  for	the encoding converter from/to
	       locale encodings and UTF-8 which is used with the -lc option or
	       locale resource.	 The help message shown by "xterm -help" lists
	       the default value, which depends on your system configuration.

	       If the encoding converter requires command-line parameters, you
	       can add those after the command, e.g.,

		   *localeFilter: xterm-filter -p

	       Alternatively,  you  may	 put  those  parameter	within a shell
	       script to execute the converter, and set this resource to point
	       to the shell script.

	       When  using  a  locale-filter, e.g., with the -e option, or the
	       shell, xterm first tries passing control via that  filter.   If
	       it  fails,  xterm  will retry without the locale-filter.	 Xterm
	       warns about the failure before retrying.

       loginShell (class LoginShell)
	       Specifies whether or not the shell to  be  run  in  the	window
	       should be started as a login shell.  The default is "false".

       marginBell (class MarginBell)
	       Specifies  whether or not the bell should be rung when the user
	       types near the right margin.  The default is "false".

       metaSendsEscape (class MetaSendsEscape)
	       If "true", Meta characters (a character combined with the  Meta
	       modifier	 key) are converted into a two-character sequence with
	       the character itself preceded by ESC.  This applies as well  to
	       function	 key control sequences, unless xterm sees that Meta is
	       used in your key translations.	If  "false",  Meta  characters
	       input  from the keyboard are handled according to the eightBit-
	       Input resource.	The default is "True".

       mkSamplePass (class MkSamplePass)
	       If mkSampleSize is nonzero,  and	 mkWidth  (and	cjkWidth)  are
	       false,  on  startup  xterm  compares its built-in tables to the
	       system's wide character width data to decide if it will use the
	       system's	 data.	It tests the first mkSampleSize character val-
	       ues, and allows up to mkSamplePass mismatches before  the  test
	       fails.	The  default (for the allowed number of mismatches) is
	       256.

       mkSampleSize (class MkSampleSize)
	       With mkSamplePass, this specifies a startup test used for  ini-
	       tializing wide character width calculations.  The default (num-
	       ber of characters to check) is 1024.

       mkWidth (class MkWidth)
	       Specifies whether xterm should use a built-in  version  of  the
	       wide  character	width  calculation.   See  also	 the  cjkWidth
	       resource which can override this.  The default is "false".

	       Here is a summary of the resources which control the choice  of
	       wide character width calculation:

	       cjkWidth	  mkWidth   Action
	       ---------------------------------------------------------------
	       false	  false	    use system tables subject to mkSamplePass
	       false	  true	    use built-in tables
	       true	  false	    use built-in CJK tables
	       true	  true	    use built-in CJK tables

       modifyCursorKeys (class ModifyCursorKeys)
	       Tells  how  to  handle the special case where Control-, Shift-,
	       Alt- or Meta-modifiers are used	to  add	 a  parameter  to  the
	       escape sequence returned by a cursor-key.  The default is "2":

	       -1   disables the feature.

	       0    uses the old/obsolete behavior.

	       1    prefixes modified sequences with CSI.

	       2    forces the modifier to be the second parameter if it would
		    otherwise be the first.

	       3    marks the sequence with a ">" to hint that it is private.

       modifyFunctionKeys (class ModifyFunctionKeys)
	       Tells how to handle the special case  where  Control-,  Shift-,
	       Alt-  or	 Meta-modifiers	 are  used  to	add a parameter to the
	       escape sequence returned by  a  (numbered)  function-key.   The
	       default	is "2".	 The resource values are similar to modifyCur-
	       sorKeys:

	       -1   permits the user to use shift-  and	 control-modifiers  to
		    construct  function-key  strings using the normal encoding
		    scheme.

	       0    uses the old/obsolete behavior.

	       1    prefixes modified sequences with CSI.

	       2    forces the modifier to be the second parameter if it would
		    otherwise be the first.

	       3    marks the sequence with a ">" to hint that it is private.

	       If  modifyFunctionKeys  is zero, xterm uses Control- and Shift-
	       modifiers to allow the user to construct numbered function-keys
	       beyond the set provided by the keyboard:

	       Control
		    adds the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource.

	       Shift
		    adds twice the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource.

	       Control/Shift
		    adds   three  times	 the  value  given  by	the  ctrlFKeys
		    resource.

       modifyKeyboard (class ModifyKeyboard)
	       Normally xterm makes a special case regarding modifiers (shift,
	       control,	 etc.)	to handle special keyboard layouts (legacy and
	       vt220).	This is done to provide compatible keyboards  for  DEC
	       VT220  and  related  terminals that implement user-defined keys
	       (UDK).

	       The bits of the resource value selectively enable  modification
	       of  the	given category when these keyboards are selected.  The
	       default is "0":

	       0    The legacy/vt220 keyboards interpret only the Control-mod-
		    ifier  when	 constructing  numbered	 function-keys.	 Other
		    special keys are not modified.

	       1    allows modification of the numeric keypad

	       2    allows modification of the editing keypad

	       4    allows modification of  function-keys,  overrides  use  of
		    Shift-modifier for UDK.

	       8    allows modification of other special keys

       modifyOtherKeys (class ModifyOtherKeys)
	       Like  modifyCursorKeys,	tells  xterm  to  construct  an escape
	       sequence for other keys (such as "2")  when  modified  by  Con-
	       trol-,  Alt- or Meta-modifiers.	This feature does not apply to
	       function keys and well-defined keys such as ESC or the  control
	       keys.  The default is "0":

	       0    disables this feature.

	       1    enables  this feature for keys except for those with well-
		    known behavior, e.g., Tab, Backarrow and some special con-
		    trol character cases, e.g., Control-Space to make a NUL.

	       2    enables  this  feature  for	 keys including the exceptions
		    listed.

       multiClickTime (class MultiClickTime)
	       Specifies the maximum time in milliseconds between  multi-click
	       select events.  The default is "250" milliseconds.

       multiScroll (class MultiScroll)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  scrolling  should  be  done	 asyn-
	       chronously.  The default is "false".

       nMarginBell (class Column)
	       Specifies the number of characters from	the  right  margin  at
	       which  the  margin  bell	 should	 be  rung, when enabled by the
	       marginBell resource.  The default is "10".

       numLock (class NumLock)
	       If "true", xterm checks if NumLock is used as a	modifier  (see
	       xmodmap(1)).   If  so,  this  modifier  is used to simplify the
	       logic when implementing special	NumLock	 for  the  sunKeyboard
	       resource.   Also	 (when sunKeyboard is false), similar logic is
	       used to find the modifier associated with the  left  and	 right
	       Alt keys.  The default is "true".

       oldXtermFKeys (class OldXtermFKeys)
	       If "true", xterm will use old-style control sequences for func-
	       tion keys F1 to F4, for compatibility with X Consortium	xterm.
	       Otherwise,  it  uses the VT100-style codes for PF1 to PF4.  The
	       default is "false".

       on2Clicks (class On2Clicks)

       on3Clicks (class On3Clicks)

       on4Clicks (class On4Clicks)

       on5Clicks (class On5Clicks)
	       Specify	selection  behavior  in	 response  to  multiple	 mouse
	       clicks.	  A  single  mouse  click  is  always  interpreted  as
	       described in the SELECTION section (see POINTER USAGE).	Multi-
	       ple  mouse clicks (using the button which activates the select-
	       start action) are interpreted according to the resource	values
	       of on2Clicks, etc.  The resource value can be one of these:

	       word
		  Select  a  "word"  as	 determined by the charClass resource.
		  See the CHARACTER CLASSES section.

	       line
		  Select a line (counting wrapping).

	       group
		  Select a group of adjacent lines (counting  wrapping).   The
		  selection stops on a blank line, and does not extend outside
		  the current page.

	       page
		  Select all visible lines, i.e., the page.

	       all
		  Select all lines, i.e., including the saved lines.

	       regex
		  Select a "word" as  determined  by  the  regular  expression
		  which follows in the resource value.

	       none
		  No selection action is associated with this resource.	 xterm
		  interprets it as the end of the list.	 For example, you  may
		  use  it  to  disable triple (and higher) clicking by setting
		  on3Clicks to "none".

	       The default values for on2Clicks and on3Clicks are  "word"  and
	       "line",	respectively.  There is no default value for on4Clicks
	       or on5Clicks, making those inactive.  On startup, xterm	deter-
	       mines  the  maximum  number of clicks by the onXClicks resource
	       values which are set.

       openIm (class XtCOpenIm)
	       Tells xterm whether to open the input method at	startup.   The
	       default is "true".

       pointerColor (class PointerColor)
	       Specifies  the foreground color of the pointer.	The default is
	       "XtDefaultForeground".

       pointerColorBackground (class PointerColorBackground)
	       Specifies the background color of the pointer.  The default  is
	       "XtDefaultBackground".

       pointerMode (class PointerMode)
	       Specifies when the pointer may be hidden as the user types.  It
	       will be redisplayed if the user moves the mouse, or clicks  one
	       of its buttons.

	       0  never

	       1  the  application  running  in	 xterm has not activated mouse
		  mode.	 This is the default.

	       2  always.

       pointerShape (class Cursor)
	       Specifies the name of the shape of the pointer.	The default is
	       "xterm".

       popOnBell (class PopOnBell)
	       Specifies  whether the window would be raised when Control-G is
	       received.  The default is "false".

	       If the window is iconified, this has no effect.	 However,  the
	       zIconBeep  resource  provides you with the ability to see which
	       iconified windows have sounded a bell.

       precompose (class XtCPrecompose)
	       Tells xterm whether to precompose UTF-8 data into Normalization
	       Form  C, which combines commonly-used accents onto base charac-
	       ters.  If it does not do this, accents are left	as  separatate
	       characters.  The default is "true".

       preeditType (class XtCPreeditType)
	       Tells  xterm  which  types of preedit (preconversion) string to
	       display.	 The default is "OverTheSpot,Root".

       printAttributes (class PrintAttributes)
	       Specifies whether to print graphic attributes  along  with  the
	       text.   A  real	DEC  VTxxx  terminal will print the underline,
	       highlighting codes but your printer may not handle these.

	       o   "0" disables the attributes.

	       o   "1" prints the normal set of attributes  (bold,  underline,
		   inverse and blink) as VT100-style control sequences.

	       o   "2" prints ANSI color attributes as well.

	       The default is "1".

       printFileImmediate (PrintFileImmediate)
	       When  the  print-immediate  action is invoked, xterm prints the
	       screen contents directly to a file.  Set this resource  to  the
	       prefix  of  the	filename  (a timestamp will be appended to the
	       actual name).

	       The default is an empty string, i.e.,  "",  However,  when  the
	       print-immediate action is invoked, if the string is empty, then
	       "XTerm" is used.

       printFileOnXError (PrintFileOnXError)
	       If xterm exits with an X error, e.g., your connection is broken
	       when  the  server crashes, it can be told to write the contents
	       of the screen to a file.	  To  enable  the  feature,  set  this
	       resource	 to  the  prefix  of the filename (a timestamp will be
	       appended to the actual name).

	       The default is an empty string, i.e., "", which	disables  this
	       feature.	  However,  when the print-on-error action is invoked,
	       if the string is empty, then "XTermError" is used.

	       These error codes are handled: ERROR_XERROR, ERROR_XIOERROR and
	       ERROR_ICEERROR.

       printModeImmediate (PrintModeImmediate)
	       When  the  print-immediate  action is invoked, xterm prints the
	       screen contents directly to a file.  You can use the  printMod-
	       eImmediate  resource  to	 tell  it  to  use escape sequences to
	       reconstruct the video attributes and  colors.   This  uses  the
	       same  values  as	 the printAttributes resource.	The default is
	       "0".

       printModeOnXError (PrintModeOnXError)
	       Xterm  implements  the  printFileOnXError  feature  using   the
	       printer	feature,  although the output is written directly to a
	       file.  You can use the printModeOnXError resource to tell it to
	       use  escape  sequences  to reconstruct the video attributes and
	       colors.	This uses  the	same  values  as  the  printAttributes
	       resource.  The default is "0".

       printOptsImmediate (PrintOptsImmediate)
	       Specify	the  range of text which is printed to a file when the
	       print-immediately action is invoked.

	       o   If zero (0), then this selects the current (visible screen)
		   plus	 the  saved  lines,  except if the alternate screen is
		   being used.	In that case, only  the	 alternate  screen  is
		   selectd.

	       o   If  nonzero,	 the  bits  of this resource value (checked in
		   descending order) select the range:

		   8  selects the saved lines.

		   4  selects the alternate screen.

		   2  selects the normal screen.

		   1  selects the current screen, which can be either the nor-
		      mal or alternate screen.

	       The  default  is	 "9", which selects the current visible screen
	       plus saved lines, with  no  special  case  for  the  alternated
	       screen.

       printOptsOnXError (PrintOptsOnXError)
	       Specify	the  range of text which is printed to a file when the
	       print-on-error action is invoked.  The resource value is inter-
	       preted the same as in printOptsImmediate.

	       The  default  is	 "9", which selects the current visible screen
	       plus saved lines, with  no  special  case  for  the  alternated
	       screen.

       printerAutoClose (class PrinterAutoClose)
	       If  "true",  xterm  will	 close	the  printer (a pipe) when the
	       application switches the printer offline with a Media Copy com-
	       mand.  The default is "false".

       printerCommand (class PrinterCommand)
	       Specifies  a shell command to which xterm will open a pipe when
	       the first MC (Media Copy) command is initiated.	The default is
	       an  empty  string, i.e., "".  If the resource value is given as
	       an empty string, the printer is disabled.

       printerControlMode (class PrinterControlMode)
	       Specifies the printer control mode.  A  "1"  selects  autoprint
	       mode,  which  causes xterm to print a line from the screen when
	       you move the cursor off that line with a line feed,  form  feed
	       or  vertical  tab  character, or an autowrap occurs.  Autoprint
	       mode is overridden by printer controller mode  (a  "2"),	 which
	       causes  all  of	the output to be directed to the printer.  The
	       default is "0".

       printerExtent (class PrinterExtent)
	       Controls whether a print page function will  print  the	entire
	       page  (true), or only the the portion within the scrolling mar-
	       gins (false).  The default is "false".

       printerFormFeed (class PrinterFormFeed)
	       Controls whether a form feed is sent to the printer at the  end
	       of a print page function.  The default is "false".

       printerNewLine (class PrinterNewLine)
	       Controls whether a newline is sent to the printer at the end of
	       a print page function.  The default is "true".

       privateColorRegisters (class privateColorRegisters)
	       If true, allocate  separate  color  registers  for  each	 sixel
	       device  control	string,	 e.g., for DECGCI.  If not true, color
	       registers are allocated only once, when the terminal is	reset.
	       The default is "true".

       quietGrab (class QuietGrab)
	       Controls	 whether  the  cursor is repainted when NotifyGrab and
	       NotifyUngrab event types are received during change  of	focus.
	       The default is "false".

       renderFont (class RenderFont)
	       If  xterm  is built with the Xft library, this controls whether
	       the faceName resource is used.  The default is "default".

	       The resource values are strings, evaluated  as  booleans	 after
	       startup.

	       false
		    disable the feature and use the normal (bitmap) font.

	       true
		    startup  using the TrueType font specified by the faceName
		    and faceSize resource settings.  If there is no value  for
		    faceName,  disable the feature and use the normal (bitmap)
		    font.

		    After startup, you can still  switch  to/from  the	bitmap
		    font using the "TrueType Fonts" menu entry.

	       default
		    startup  using  the	 normal	 (bitmap) font, but enable the
		    "TrueType Fonts" menu entry	 to  allow  runtime  switching
		    to/from TrueType fonts.

		    If there is no faceName resource set, then runtime switch-
		    ing to TrueType fonts is disabled.	Xterm has  a  separate
		    compiled-in	 value for faceName for the special case where
		    renderFont is "default".  That is normally "mono".

       resizeGravity (class ResizeGravity)
	       Affects the behavior when the window is resized to be taller or
	       shorter.	  NorthWest specifies that the top line of text on the
	       screen stay fixed.  If the window is made  shorter,  lines  are
	       dropped	from  the  bottom; if the window is made taller, blank
	       lines are added at the bottom.  This  is	 compatible  with  the
	       behavior	 in  R4.   SouthWest  (the default) specifies that the
	       bottom line of text on the screen stay fixed.  If the window is
	       made  taller, additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto
	       the screen; if the  window  is  made  shorter,  lines  will  be
	       scrolled	 off  the  top	of the screen, and the top saved lines
	       will be dropped.

       retryInputMethod (class XtCRetryInputMethod)
	       Tells xterm how many times to retry, in case  the  input-method
	       server  is  not	responding.   This  is	a different issue than
	       unsupported preedit type, etc.  You may	encounter  retries  if
	       your  X	configuration  (and its libraries) are missing pieces.
	       Setting this resource to zero ``0'' will cancel	the  retrying.
	       The default is ``3''.

       reverseVideo (class ReverseVideo)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  reverse video should be simulated.
	       The default is "false".

	       There are several aspects to reverse video in xterm:

	       o   The command-line  -rv  option  tells	 the  X	 libraries  to
		   reverse the foreground and background colors.  Xterm's com-
		   mand-line options set resource values.  In particular,  the
		   X  Toolkit  sets  the  reverseVideo	resource  when the -rv
		   option is used.

	       o   If the user has also used command-line options -fg  or  -bg
		   to set the foreground and background colors, xterm does not
		   see these  options  directly.   Instead,  it	 examines  the
		   resource  values  to	 reconstruct the command-line options,
		   and determine which of the colors is	 the  user's  intended
		   foreground, etc.  Their actual values are irrelevant to the
		   reverse video function; some users prefer  the  X  defaults
		   (black  text	 on  a	white background), others prefer white
		   text on a black background.

	       o   After startup, the user  can	 toggle	 the  "Enable  Reverse
		   Video"  menu	 entry.	 This exchanges the current foreground
		   and background colors of the VT100 widget, and repaints the
		   screen.  Because of the X resource hierarchy, the reverseV-
		   ideo resource applies to more than the VT100 widget.

	       Programs running in an xterm can also use control sequences  to
	       enable  the VT100 reverse video mode.  These are independent of
	       the reverseVideo resource and the menu entry.  Xterm  exchanges
	       the  current foreground and background colors when drawing text
	       affected by these control sequences.

	       Other control sequences can alter the foreground and background
	       colors which are used:

	       o   Programs  can  also use the ANSI color control sequences to
		   set the foreground and background colors.

	       o   Extensions to the ANSI color controls (such as 16-, 88-  or
		   256-colors) are treated similarly to the ANSI control.

	       o   Using  other	 control  sequences (the "dynamic colors" fea-
		   ture), a program can change the foreground  and  background
		   colors.

       reverseWrap (class ReverseWrap)
	       Specifies  whether or not reverse-wraparound should be enabled.
	       This corresponds to xterm's private mode 45.   The  default  is
	       "false".

       rightScrollBar (class RightScrollBar)
	       Specifies  whether  or not the scrollbar should be displayed on
	       the right rather than the left.	The default is "false".

       saveLines (class SaveLines)
	       Specifies the number of lines to save beyond  the  top  of  the
	       screen when a scrollbar is turned on.  The default is "64".

       scrollBar (class ScrollBar)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not  the scrollbar should be displayed.
	       The default is "false".

       scrollBarBorder (class ScrollBarBorder)
	       Specifies the width of the scrollbar border.  Note that this is
	       drawn to overlap the border of the xterm window.	 Modifying the
	       scrollbar's border affects only the line between the VT100 wid-
	       get and the scrollbar.  The default value is 1.

       scrollKey (class ScrollCond)
	       Specifies  whether  or  not pressing a key should automatically
	       cause the scrollbar to  go  to  the  bottom  of	the  scrolling
	       region.	 This  corresponds  to xterm's private mode 1011.  The
	       default is "false".

       scrollLines (class ScrollLines)
	       Specifies the number of lines that the scroll-back and  scroll-
	       forw actions should use as a default.  The default value is 1.

       scrollTtyOutput (class ScrollCond)
	       Specifies whether or not output to the terminal should automat-
	       ically cause the scrollbar to go to the bottom of the scrolling
	       region.	The default is "true".

       selectToClipboard (class SelectToClipboard)
	       Tells  xterm whether to use the PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD for SELECT
	       tokens in the selection mechanism.  The set-select  action  can
	       change this at runtime, allowing the user to work with programs
	       that handle only one  of	 these	mechanisms.   The  default  is
	       "false", which tells it to use PRIMARY.

       shiftFonts (class ShiftFonts)
	       Specifies  whether  to  enable the actions larger-vt-font() and
	       smaller-vt-font(), which are  normally  bound  to  the  shifted
	       KP_Add and KP_Subtract.	The default is "true".

       showBlinkAsBold (class ShowBlinkAsBold)
	       Tells  xterm  whether  to display text with blink-attribute the
	       same as bold.  If xterm has  not	 been  configured  to  support
	       blinking	 text,	the  default  is  "true", which corresponds to
	       older versions of xterm, otherwise the default is "false".

       showMissingGlyphs (class ShowMissingGlyphs)
	       Tells xterm whether to display a box outlining places  where  a
	       character  has been used that the font does not represent.  The
	       default is "false".

       showWrapMarks (class ShowWrapMarks)
	       For debugging xterm and applications that  may  manipulate  the
	       wrapped-line  flag  by writing text at the right margin, show a
	       mark on the right inner-border of the window.  The  mark	 shows
	       which lines have the flag set.

       signalInhibit (class SignalInhibit)
	       Specifies whether or not the entries in the "Main Options" menu
	       for sending signals to xterm should be disallowed.  The default
	       is "false".

       sixelScrolling (class SixelScrolling)
	       If  true,  graphics  scroll  up	one line at a time when sixels
	       would be written past the  bottom  line	on  the	 window.   The
	       default is "false".

       tekGeometry (class Geometry)
	       Specifies the preferred size and position of the Tektronix win-
	       dow.  There is no default for this resource.

       tekInhibit (class TekInhibit)
	       Specifies whether or not the escape sequence to enter Tektronix
	       mode should be ignored.	The default is "false".

       tekSmall (class TekSmall)
	       Specifies whether or not the Tektronix mode window should start
	       in its smallest size if no explicit geometry is given.  This is
	       useful  when running xterm on displays with small screens.  The
	       default is "false".

       tekStartup (class TekStartup)
	       Specifies whether or not xterm should  start  up	 in  Tektronix
	       mode.  The default is "false".

       tiXtraScroll (class TiXtraScroll)
	       Specifies  whether  xterm should scroll to a new page when pro-
	       cessing the ti termcap entry, i.e., the private modes 47,  1047
	       or  1049.   This	 is  only  in effect if titeInhibit is "true",
	       because the intent of this option is to provide	a  picture  of
	       the full-screen application's display on the scrollback without
	       wiping out the text that would be shown before the  application
	       was initialized.	 The default for this resource is "false".

       titeInhibit (class TiteInhibit)
	       Specifies  whether or not xterm should remove ti and te termcap
	       entries (used to switch between alternate screens on startup of
	       many  screen-oriented  programs)	 from  the TERMCAP string.  If
	       set, xterm also ignores the escape sequence to  switch  to  the
	       alternate  screen.  Xterm supports terminfo in a different way,
	       supporting composite control sequences (also known  as  private
	       modes)  1047,  1048  and 1049 which have the same effect as the
	       original 47 control sequence.  The default for this resource is
	       "false".

       titleModes (class TitleModes)
	       Tells xterm whether to accept or return window- and icon-labels
	       in ISO-8859-1 (the default) or UTF-8.  Either can be encoded in
	       hexadecimal.  The default for this resource is "0".

	       Each bit (bit "0" is 1, bit "1" is 2, etc.)  corresponds to one
	       of the parameters set by the title modes control sequence:

	       0    Set window/icon labels using hexadecimal

	       1    Query window/icon labels using hexadecimal

	       2    Set window/icon labels using  UTF-8	 (overrides  utf8Title
		    resource).

	       3    Query window/icon labels using UTF-8

       translations (class Translations)
	       Specifies  the  key  and button bindings for menus, selections,
	       "programmed strings", etc.  The	translations  resource,	 which
	       provides much of xterm's configurability, is a feature of the X
	       Toolkit Intrinsics library (Xt).	 See the ACTIONS section.

       trimSelection (class TrimSelection)
	       If you set highlightSelection, you can see the  text  which  is
	       selected,  including  any trailing spaces.  Clearing the screen
	       (or a line) resets it to a state containing  no	spaces.	  Some
	       lines  may  contain  trailing spaces when an application writes
	       them to the screen.  However, you may not wish to  paste	 lines
	       with  trailing  spaces.	 If  this resource is true, xterm will
	       trim trailing spaces from text which is selected.  It does  not
	       affect  spaces which result in a wrapped line, nor will it trim
	       the trailing newline  from  your	 selection.   The  default  is
	       "false".

       underLine (class UnderLine)
	       This specifies whether or not text with the underline attribute
	       should be underlined.  It may be desirable to disable underlin-
	       ing  when color is being used for the underline attribute.  The
	       default is "true".

       useClipping (class UseClipping)
	       Tell xterm whether to use clipping to keep from producing  dots
	       outside	the text drawing area.	Originally used to work around
	       for overstriking effects, this is also needed to work with some
	       incorrectly-sized fonts.	 The default is "true".

       utf8 (class Utf8)
	       This  specifies	whether	 xterm will run in UTF-8 mode.	If you
	       set this resource, xterm also sets the wideChars resource as  a
	       side-effect.  The resource can be set via the menu entry "UTF-8
	       Encoding".  The default is "default".

	       Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case)  or  the	number
	       shown in parentheses:

	       false (0)
		  UTF-8	 mode  is  initially off.  The command-line option +u8
		  sets the resource to this value.  Escape sequences for turn-
		  ing UTF-8 mode on/off are allowed.

	       true (1)
		  UTF-8	 mode  is  initially on.  Escape sequences for turning
		  UTF-8 mode on/off are allowed.

	       always (2)
		  The command-line option -u8 sets the resource to this value.
		  Escape sequences for turning UTF-8 mode on/off are ignored.

	       default (3)
		  This	is  the	 default value of the resource.	 It is changed
		  during  initialization  depending  on	 whether  the	locale
		  resource  was	 set,  to  false  (0)  or always (2).  See the
		  locale  resource  for	 additional  discussion	 of  non-UTF-8
		  locales.

	       If  you	want  to  set  the value of utf8, it should be in this
	       range.  Other nonzero values are treated the same as "1", i.e.,
	       UTF-8  mode  is	initially on, and escape sequences for turning
	       UTF-8 mode on/off are allowed.

       utf8Fonts (class Utf8Fonts)
	       See the discussion of  the  locale  resource.   This  specifies
	       whether	xterm will use UTF-8 fonts specified via resource pat-
	       terns such as "*vt100.utf8Fonts.font"  or  normal  (ISO-8859-1)
	       fonts  via patterns such as "*vt100.font".  The resource can be
	       set  via	 the  menu  entry  "UTF-8  Fonts".   The  default   is
	       "default".

	       Xterm  accepts  either  a keyword (ignoring case) or the number
	       shown in parentheses:

	       false (0)
		      Use the ISO-8859-1 fonts.	 The menu  entry  is  enabled,
		      allowing the choice of fonts to be changed at runtime.

	       true (1)
		      Use  the UTF-8 fonts.  The menu entry is enabled, allow-
		      ing the choice of fonts to be changed at runtime.

	       always (2)
		      Always use the UTF-8 fonts.  This also disables the menu
		      entry.

	       default (3)
		      At  startup,  the	 resource  is  set  to	true or false,
		      according to the effective value of the utf8 resource.

       utf8Latin1 (class Utf8Latin1)
	       If true, allow an ISO-8859-1 normal font to be combined with an
	       ISO-10646 font if the latter is given via the -fw option or its
	       corresponding resource value.  The default is "false".

       utf8SelectTypes (class Utf8SelectTypes)
	       Override	  xterm's   default   selection	  target   list	  (see
	       SELECT/PASTE)  for  selections  in wide-character (UTF-8) mode.
	       The default is an empty string, i.e., "", which does not	 over-
	       ride anything.

       utf8Title (class Utf8Title)
	       Applications  can  set  xterm's	title  by  writing  a  control
	       sequence.  Normally this control	 sequence  follows  the	 VT220
	       convention,  which  encodes the string in ISO-8859-1 and allows
	       for an 8-bit string terminator.	If xterm is started in a UTF-8
	       locale,	it  translates	the ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 to work
	       with the X libraries which assume the string is UTF-8.

	       However, some users may wish to write a title string encoded in
	       UTF-8.	The  window  manager is responsible for drawing window
	       titles.	Some window managers (not all) support UTF-8  encoding
	       of  window  titles.  Set this resource to "true" to allow UTF-8
	       encoded title strings.  That cancels the translation to	UTF-8,
	       allowing UTF-8 strings to be displayed as is.

	       This  feature is available as a menu entry, since it is related
	       to the particular applications you are  running	within	xterm.
	       You  can	 also  use  a  control sequence (see the discussion of
	       "Title Modes" in the control sequences  document),  to  set  an
	       equivalent  flag.  The titleModes resource sets the same value,
	       which overrides this resource.

	       The default is "false".

       veryBoldColors (class VeryBoldColors)
	       Specifies whether to combine video attributes with colors spec-
	       ified  by  colorBD, colorBL, colorRV and colorUL.  The resource
	       value is the sum of values for each attribute:
		 1 for reverse,
		 2 for underline,
		 4 for bold and
		 8 for blink.

	       The default is "0".

       visualBell (class VisualBell)
	       Specifies whether or not a visible bell (i.e., flashing) should
	       be  used instead of an audible bell when Control-G is received.
	       The default is "false", which tells xterm  to  use  an  audible
	       bell.

       visualBellDelay (class VisualBellDelay)
	       Number  of milliseconds to delay when displaying a visual bell.
	       Default is 100.	If set to zero, no visual bell	is  displayed.
	       This  is useful for very slow displays, e.g., an LCD display on
	       a laptop.

       visualBellLine (class VisualBellLine)
	       Specifies whether to flash only the current line when  display-
	       ing a visual bell.  rather than flashing the entire screen: The
	       default is "false", which  tells	 xterm	to  flash  the	entire
	       screen.

       vt100Graphics (class VT100Graphics)
	       This specifies whether xterm will interpret VT100 graphic char-
	       acter escape sequences while in UTF-8  mode.   The  default  is
	       "true", to provide support for various legacy applications.

       wideBoldFont (class WideBoldFont)
	       This  option  specifies the font to be used for displaying bold
	       wide text.  By default, it will attempt to use a font twice  as
	       wide  as	 the  font that will be used to draw bold text.	 If no
	       double-width font is found, it will  improvise,	by  stretching
	       the bold font.

       wideChars (class WideChars)
	       Specifies  if  xterm  should  respond to control sequences that
	       process 16-bit characters.  The default is "false".

       wideFont (class WideFont)
	       This option specifies the font to be used for  displaying  wide
	       text.   By default, it will attempt to use a font twice as wide
	       as the font that will be used to draw normal text.  If no  dou-
	       ble-width  font	is found, it will improvise, by stretching the
	       normal font.

       ximFont (class XimFont)
	       This option specifies the font to be used  for  displaying  the
	       preedit string in the "OverTheSpot" input method.

	       In  "OverTheSpot"  preedit  type,  the  preedit (preconversion)
	       string is displayed at the position of the cursor.  It  is  the
	       XIM server's responsibility to display the preedit string.  The
	       XIM client must inform the XIM server of the  cursor  position.
	       For  best  results, the preedit string must be displayed with a
	       proper font.  Therefore, xterm informs the XIM  server  of  the
	       proper  font.   The  font  is be supplied by a "fontset", whose
	       default value is "*".  This matches every font, the  X  library
	       automatically  chooses fonts with proper charsets.  The ximFont
	       resource is provided to override this default font setting.

   Tek4014 Widget Resources
       The following resources are specified as part  of  the  tek4014	widget
       (class	Tek4014).    These   are   specified   by   patterns  such  as
       "XTerm.tek4014.NAME":

	       alternating pixels for foreground and background color.

POINTER USAGE
       Once  the  VT102 window is created, xterm allows you to select text and
       copy it within the same or other windows.

   SELECTION
       The selection functions are invoked when the pointer buttons  are  used
       with  no	 modifiers,  and when they are used with the "shift" key.  The
       assignment of the functions described below to keys and buttons may  be
       changed through the resource database; see ACTIONS below.

       Pointer	button	one  (usually  left) is used to save text into the cut
       buffer.	Move the cursor to beginning of the text, and  then  hold  the
       button  down  while  moving  the	 cursor	 to  the end of the region and
       releasing the button.  The selected text is highlighted and is saved in
       the global cut buffer and made the PRIMARY selection when the button is
       released.  Normally (but see the discussion of on2Clicks, etc):

       o   Double-clicking selects by words.

       o   Triple-clicking selects by lines.

       o   Quadruple-clicking goes back to characters, etc.

       Multiple-click is determined by the time from button up to button down,
       so  you	can  change  the  selection unit in the middle of a selection.
       Logical words and lines selected by double- or triple-clicking may wrap
       across  more than one screen line if lines were wrapped by xterm itself
       rather than by the application running in the window.  If the  key/but-
       ton  bindings  specify  that  an	 X selection is to be made, xterm will
       leave the selected text highlighted for as long as it is the  selection
       owner.

       Pointer	button two (usually middle) "types" (pastes) the text from the
       PRIMARY selection, if any, otherwise from the cut buffer, inserting  it
       as keyboard input.

       Pointer	button	three  (usually	 right) extends the current selection.
       (Without loss of generality, you can swap "right" and "left" everywhere
       in  the	rest of this paragraph.)  If pressed while closer to the right
       edge of the selection than the left,  it	 extends/contracts  the	 right
       edge  of	 the  selection.   If you contract the selection past the left
       edge of the selection, xterm assumes you really meant  the  left	 edge,
       restores	 the  original selection, then extends/contracts the left edge
       of the selection.  Extension starts in the selection unit mode that the
       last selection or extension was performed in; you can multiple-click to
       cycle through them.

       By cutting and pasting pieces of text without trailing new  lines,  you
       can  take text from several places in different windows and form a com-
       mand to the shell, for example, or  take	 output	 from  a  program  and
       insert  it  into	 your favorite editor.	Since cut buffers are globally
       shared among different applications, you may regard each	 as  a	"file"
       whose contents you know.	 The terminal emulator and other text programs
       should be treating it as if it were a text  file,  i.e.,	 the  text  is
       delimited by new lines.

   SCROLLING
       The  scroll  region  displays the position and amount of text currently
       showing in the window (highlighted) relative  to	 the  amount  of  text
       actually saved.	As more text is saved (up to the maximum), the size of
       the highlighted area decreases.

       Clicking button one with the pointer in the  scroll  region  moves  the
       adjacent line to the top of the display window.

       Clicking	 button three moves the top line of the display window down to
       the pointer position.

       Clicking button two moves the display to a position in the  saved  text
       that corresponds to the pointer's position in the scrollbar.

   TEKTRONIX POINTER
       Unlike  the VT102 window, the Tektronix window does not allow the copy-
       ing of text.  It does allow Tektronix GIN mode, and in  this  mode  the
       cursor  will  change  from  an arrow to a cross.	 Pressing any key will
       send that key and the current coordinate of the cross cursor.  Pressing
       button  one,  two,  or three will return the letters "l", "m", and "r",
       respectively.  If the "shift" key is pressed when a pointer  button  is
       pressed, the corresponding upper case letter is sent.  To distinguish a
       pointer button from a key, the high bit of the character	 is  set  (but
       this  is	 bit is normally stripped unless the terminal mode is RAW; see
       tty(4) for details).

SELECT/PASTE
       X clients provide select and paste support by  responding  to  requests
       conveyed by the server.

   PRIMARY
       When  configured	 to use the primary selection, (the default) xterm can
       provide the selection data in  ways  which  help	 to  retain  character
       encoding information as it is pasted.

       A  user "selects" text on xterm, which highlights the selected text.  A
       subsequent "paste" to another client forwards a request to  the	client
       owning  the  selection.	 If xterm owns the primary selection, it makes
       the data available in the form of one or more "selection targets".   If
       it  does	 not own the primary selection, e.g., if it has released it or
       another client has asserted ownership, it relies on cut-buffers to pass
       the  data.   But	 cut-buffers handle only ISO-8859-1 data (officially -
       some clients ignore the rules).

   CLIPBOARD
       When configured to use the clipboard (see resource  selectToClipboard),
       the  problem  with  persistence	of  ownership is bypassed.  Otherwise,
       there is no difference regarding the  data  which  can  be  passed  via
       selection.

   SELECTION TARGETS
       The different types of data which are passed depend on what the receiv-
       ing client asks for.  These are termed selection targets.

       When asking for the selection data, xterm tries the following types  in
       this order:

	      UTF8_STRING
		   This	 is  an XFree86 extension, which denotes that the data
		   is encoded in UTF-8.	 When xterm is built with wide-charac-
		   ter support, it both accepts and provides this type.

	      TEXT the	text is in the encoding which corresponds to your cur-
		   rent locale.

	      COMPOUND_TEXT
		   this is a format for multiple character set data,  such  as
		   multi-lingual  text.	  It can store UTF-8 data as a special
		   case.

	      STRING
		   This is Latin 1 (ISO-8859-1) data.

       The middle two (TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT) are added if xterm  is  config-
       ured with the i18nSelections resource set to "true".

       UTF8_STRING  is	preferred  (therefore  first  in the list) since xterm
       stores text as Unicode data when running in wide-character mode, and no
       translation  is	needed.	 On the other hand, TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT may
       require translation.  If	 the  translation  is  incomplete,  they  will
       insert X's "defaultString" whose value cannot be set, and may simply be
       empty.  Xterm's defaultString resource specifies the string to use  for
       incomplete translations of the UTF8_STRING.

       You can alter the types which xterm tries using the eightBitSelectTypes
       or utf8SelectTypes resources.  For instance, you might have  some  spe-
       cific  locale  setting which does not use UTF-8 encoding.  The resource
       value is a comma-separated list of the selection targets, which consist
       of  the	names  shown.  You can use the special name I18N to denote the
       optional inclusion of TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT.  The  names  are  matched
       ignoring	 case,	and  can  be  abbreviated.   The  default  list can be
       expressed in several ways, e.g.,

	      UTF8_STRING,I18N,STRING
	      utf8,i18n,string
	      u,i,s

MENUS
       Xterm has four menus, named mainMenu, vtMenu,  fontMenu,	 and  tekMenu.
       Each  menu  pops	 up  under  the correct combinations of key and button
       presses.	 Each menu is divided into sections, separated by a horizontal
       line.   Some  menu  entries correspond to modes that can be altered.  A
       check mark appears next to a mode that is currently active.   Selecting
       one of these modes toggles its state.  Other menu entries are commands;
       selecting one of these performs the indicated function.

       All of the menu entries correspond to X actions.	 In  the  list	below,
       the menu label is shown followed by the action's name in parenthesis.

   Main Options
       The  xterm  mainMenu  pops up when the "control" key and pointer button
       one are pressed in a window.  This menu contains items  that  apply  to
       both the VT102 and Tektronix windows.  There are several sections:

       Commands for managing X events:

	      Toolbar
		     Clicking on the "Toolbar" menu entry hides the toolbar if
		     it is visible, and shows it if it is not.

	      Secure Keyboard (securekbd)
		     The Secure Keyboard mode is helpful when typing in	 pass-
		     words or other sensitive data in an unsecure environment;
		     see SECURITY below (but read the limitations carefully).

	      Allow SendEvents (allowsends)
		     Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button	events
		     generated	using  the X protocol SendEvent request should
		     be interpreted or discarded.   This  corresponds  to  the
		     allowSendEvents resource.

	      Redraw Window (redraw)
		     Forces  the X display to repaint; useful in some environ-
		     ments.

       Commands for capturing output:

	      Log to File (logging)
		     Captures text sent to the screen in a logfile, as in  the
		     -l logging option.

	      Print-All Immediately
		     Invokes  the  print-immediate action, sending the text of
		     the current window directly to a file,  as	 specified  by
		     the  printFileImmediate, printModeImmediate and printOpt-
		     sImmediate resources.

	      Print-All on Error
		     Invokes the print-on-error action, which toggles  a  flag
		     telling  xterm  that if it exits with an X error, to send
		     the text of the current window directly  to  a  file,  as
		     specified	by  the	 printFileXError,  printModeXError and
		     printOptsXError resources.

	      Print Window (print)
		     Sends the text of the current window to the program given
		     in the printerCommand resource.

	      Redirect to Printer (print-redir)
		     This  sets the printerControlMode to 0 or 2.  You can use
		     this to turn the printer on as if an application had sent
		     the  appropriate control sequence.	 It is also useful for
		     switching the printer off if an application turns	it  on
		     without resetting the print control mode.

       Modes for setting keyboard style:

	      8-Bit Controls (8-bit-control)
		     Enabled  for VT220 emulation, this controls whether xterm
		     will send 8-bit control sequences rather than using 7-bit
		     (ASCII)  controls,	 e.g.,	sending	 a  byte  in the range
		     128-159 rather than the escape character  followed	 by  a
		     second  byte.   Xterm  always  interprets	both 8-bit and
		     7-bit control sequences (see the document	Xterm  Control
		     Sequences).   This	 corresponds  to  the  eightBitControl
		     resource.

	      Backarrow Key (BS/DEL) (backarrow key)
		     Modifies the behavior of the  backarrow  key,  making  it
		     transmit  either  a backspace (8) or delete (127) charac-
		     ter.  This corresponds to the backarrowKey resource.

	      Alt/NumLock Modifiers (num-lock)
		     Controls the treatment of Alt- and NumLock-key modifiers.
		     This corresponds to the numLock resource.

	      Meta Sends Escape (meta-esc)
		     Controls whether Meta keys are converted into a two-char-
		     acter sequence with the character itself preceded by ESC.
		     This corresponds to the metaSendsEscape resource.

	      Delete is DEL (delete-is-del)
		     Controls  whether	the  Delete  key on the editing keypad
		     should send DEL (127) or the  VT220-style	Remove	escape
		     sequence.	This corresponds to the deleteIsDEL resource.

	      Old Function-Keys (oldFunctionKeys)

	      HP Function-Keys (hpFunctionKeys)

	      SCO Function-Keys (scoFunctionKeys)

	      Sun Function-Keys (sunFunctionKeys)

	      VT220 Keyboard (sunKeyboard)
		     These  act as a radio-button, selecting one style for the
		     keyboard  layout.	 It  corresponds  to  more  than   one
		     resource  setting: sunKeyboard, sunFunctionKeys, scoFunc-
		     tionKeys and hpFunctionKeys ."

       Commands for process signalling:

	      Send STOP Signal (suspend)

	      Send CONT Signal (continue)

	      Send INT Signal (interrupt)

	      Send HUP Signal (hangup)

	      Send TERM Signal (terminate)

	      Send KILL Signal (kill)
		     These send the SIGTSTP, SIGCONT, SIGINT, SIGHUP,  SIGTERM
		     and SIGKILL signals respectively, to the process group of
		     the process running under xterm (usually the shell).  The
		     SIGCONT  function	is  especially	useful if the user has
		     accidentally typed CTRL-Z, suspending the process.

	      Quit (quit)
		     Stop processing X events  except  to  support  the	 -hold
		     option,  and then send a SIGHUP signal to the the process
		     group of the process running  under  xterm	 (usually  the
		     shell).

   VT Options
       The  vtMenu sets various modes in the VT102 emulation, and is popped up
       when the "control" key and pointer button two are pressed in the	 VT102
       window.

       VT102/VT220 Modes:

	      Enable Scrollbar (scrollbar)
		     Enable  (or  disable) the scrollbar.  This corresponds to
		     the -sb option and the scrollBar resource.

	      Enable Jump Scroll (jumpscroll)
		     Enable (or disable) jump scrolling.  This corresponds  to
		     the -j option and the jumpScroll resource.

	      Enable Reverse Video (reversevideo)
		     Enable  (or  disable) reverse-video.  This corresponds to
		     the -rv option and the reverseVideo resource.

	      Enable Auto Wraparound (autowrap)
		     Enable (or disable) auto-wraparound.  This corresponds to
		     the -aw option and the autoWrap resource.

	      Enable Reverse Wraparound (reversewrap)
		     Enable (or disable) reverse wraparound.  This corresponds
		     to the -rw option and the reverseWrap resource.

	      Enable Auto Linefeed (autolinefeed)
		     Enable (or disable) auto-linefeed.	 This is the VT102 NEL
		     function,	which  causes  the emulator to emit a linefeed
		     after each carriage return.  There	 is  no	 corresponding
		     command-line option or resource setting.

	      Enable Application Cursor Keys (appcursor)
		     Enable (or disable) application cursor keys.  This corre-
		     sponds to the appcursorDefault  resource.	 There	is  no
		     corresponding command-line option.

	      Enable Application Keypad (appkeypad)
		     Enable (or disable) application keypad keys.  This corre-
		     sponds to the appkeypadDefault  resource.	 There	is  no
		     corresponding command-line option.

	      Scroll to Bottom on Key Press (scrollkey)
		     Enable  (or  disable)  scrolling  to  the	bottom	of the
		     scrolling region on a keypress.  This corresponds to  the
		     -sk option and the scrollKey resource.

		     As	 a  special  case,  the XON / XOFF keys (control/S and
		     control/Q) are ignored.

	      Scroll to Bottom on Tty Output (scrollttyoutput)
		     Enable (or	 disable)  scrolling  to  the  bottom  of  the
		     scrolling	region on output to the terminal.  This corre-
		     sponds  to	 the  -si  option  and	 the   scrollTtyOutput
		     resource.

	      Allow 80/132 Column Switching (allow132)
		     Enable (or disable) switching between 80 and 132 columns.
		     This  corresponds	to  the	 -132  option  and  the	  c132
		     resource.

	      Keep Selection (keepSelection)
		     Tell  xterm whether to disown the selection when it stops
		     highlighting it, e.g., when an application	 modifies  the
		     display  so  that it no longer matches the text which has
		     been highlighted.	As long as xterm continues to own  the
		     selection, it can provide the corresponding text to other
		     clients via cut/paste.  This corresponds to  the  keepSe-
		     lection resource.	There is no corresponding command-line
		     option.

	      Select to Clipboard (selectToClipboard)
		     Tell xterm whether to use the PRIMARY  or	CLIPBOARD  for
		     SELECT  tokens  in	 the  translations resource which maps
		     keyboard and mouse actions to select/paste actions.  This
		     corresponds  to the selectToClipboard resource.  There is
		     no corresponding command-line option.

	      Enable Visual Bell (visualbell)
		     Enable (or disable) visible bell (i.e., flashing) instead
		     of	 an  audible bell.  This corresponds to the -vb option
		     and the visualBell resource.

	      Enable Bell Urgency (bellIsUrgent)
		     Enable (or disable) Urgency window manager hint when Con-
		     trol-G is received.  This corresponds to the bellIsUrgent
		     resource.

	      Enable Pop on Bell (poponbell)
		     Enable (or disable) raising of the window when  Control-G
		     is received.  This corresponds to the -pop option and the
		     popOnBell resource.

	      Enable Blinking Cursor (cursorblink)
		     Enable (or disable) the  blinking-cursor  feature.	  This
		     corresponds   to  the  -bc	 option	 and  the  cursorBlink
		     resource.	There is also an escape sequence (see the doc-
		     ument  Xterm  Control Sequences).	The menu entry and the
		     escape sequence states are XOR'd: if  both	 are  enabled,
		     the  cursor  will	not blink, if only one is enabled, the
		     cursor will blink.

	      Enable Alternate Screen Switching (titeInhibit)
		     Enable (or disable)  switching  between  the  normal  and
		     alternate	screens.   This corresponds to the titeInhibit
		     resource.	There is no corresponding command-line option.

	      Enable Active Icon (activeicon)
		     Enable (or disable) the active-icon feature.  This corre-
		     sponds to the -ai option and the activeIcon resource.

	      Sixel Scrolling (sixelScrolling)
		     When  enabled,  sixel graphics are positioned at the cur-
		     rent text cursor location, scroll the image vertically if
		     larger  than  the screen, and leave the text cursor after
		     the image when returning to text  mode.   When  disabled,
		     sixel  graphics  are  positioned at the upper left of the
		     screen, are cropped to fit the screen, and do not	affect
		     the  text	cursor	location  (this is the default).  This
		     corresponds to the sixelScrolling resource.  There is  no
		     corresponding command-line option.

	      Private Color Registers (privateColorRegisters)
		     When  enabled,  each graphic image uses a separate set of
		     color registers, so that it  essentially  has  a  private
		     palette  (this  is	 the  default).	 If it is not set, all
		     graphics images share a common set of registers which  is
		     how  sixel	 and ReGIS graphics worked on actual hardware.
		     The default is likely a more useful mode on modern	 True-
		     Color hardware.  This corresponds to the privateColorReg-
		     isters resource.  There is no corresponding  command-line
		     option.

       VT102/VT220 Commands:

	      Do Soft Reset (softreset)
		     Reset  scroll  regions.  This can be convenient when some
		     program has  left	the  scroll  regions  set  incorrectly
		     (often a problem when using VMS or TOPS-20).  This corre-
		     sponds to the VT220 DECSTR control sequence.

	      Do Full Reset (hardreset)
		     The full reset entry will clear the screen, reset tabs to
		     every  eight  columns, and reset the terminal modes (such
		     as wrap and smooth scroll) to their initial  states  just
		     after  xterm  has	finished  processing  the command line
		     options.  This  corresponds  to  the  VT102  RIS  control
		     sequence,	with  a few obvious differences.  For example,
		     your session is not disconnected as a  real  VT102	 would
		     do.

	      Reset and Clear Saved Lines (clearsavedlines)
		     Perform a full reset, and also clear the saved lines.

       Commands for setting the current screen:

	      Show Tek Window (tekshow)
		     When enabled, pops the Tektronix 4014 window up (makes it
		     visible).	When disabled, hides the Tektronix  4014  win-
		     dow.

	      Switch to Tek Mode (tekmode)
		     When  enabled, pops the Tektronix 4014 window up if it is
		     not already visible, and switches	the  input  stream  to
		     that  window.   When  disabled,  hides the Tektronix 4014
		     window and switches input back to the VTxxx window.

	      Hide VT Window (vthide)
		     When enabled, hides the VTxxx window, shows the Tektronix
		     4014  window  if  it was not already visible and switches
		     the input stream to that window.	When  disabled,	 shows
		     the  VTxxx	 window, and switches the input stream to that
		     window.

	      Show Alternate Screen (altscreen)
		     When enabled, shows the alternate screen.	When disabled,
		     shows the normal screen.  Note that the normal screen may
		     have saved lines; the alternate screen does not.

   VT Fonts
       The fontMenu pops up when when the "control"  key  and  pointer	button
       three are pressed in a window.  It sets the font used in the VT102 win-
       dow, or modifies the way the font is specified or displayed.  There are
       several sections.

       The  first section allows you to select the font from a set of alterna-
       tives:

	      Default (fontdefault)
		     Set the font to the default,  i.e.,  that	given  by  the
		     *VT100.font resource.

	      Unreadable (font1)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font1 resource.

	      Tiny (font2)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font2 resource.

	      Small (font3)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font3 resource.

	      Medium (font4)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font4 resource.

	      Large (font5)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font5 resource.

	      Huge (font6)
		     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font6 resource.

	      Escape Sequence
		     This allows you to set the font last specified by the Set
		     Font escape sequence  (see	 the  document	Xterm  Control
		     Sequences).

	      Selection (fontsel)
		     This  allows  you	to  set the font specified the current
		     selection as a font name (if  the	PRIMARY	 selection  is
		     owned).

       The second section allows you to modify the way it is displayed:

	      Bold Fonts
		     This  is  normally	 checked  (enabled).   When unchecked,
		     xterm will not use bold fonts.  The  setting  corresponds
		     to the allowBoldFonts resource.

	      Line-Drawing Characters (font-linedrawing)
		     When  set, tells xterm to draw its own line-drawing char-
		     acters.  Otherwise	 it  relies  on	 the  font  containing
		     these.  Compare to the forceBoxChars resource.

	      Packed Font (font-packed)
		     When set, tells xterm to use the minimum glyph-width from
		     a font when displaying characters.	 Use the maximum width
		     (unchecked)  to help display proportional fonts.  Compare
		     to the forcePackedFont resource.

	      Doublesized Characters (font-doublesize)
		     When set, xterm may ask the font server to produce scaled
		     versions  of the normal font, for VT102 double-size char-
		     acters.

       The third section allows you to modify the way it is specified:

	      TrueType Fonts (render-font)
		     If the renderFont and corresponding resources  were  set,
		     this is a further control whether xterm will actually use
		     the Xft library calls to obtain a font.

	      UTF-8 Encoding (utf8-mode)
		     This  controls  whether  xterm  uses  UTF-8  encoding  of
		     input/output.   It	 is  useful  for temporarily switching
		     xterm to display text from an application which does  not
		     follow  the  locale settings.  It corresponds to the utf8
		     resource.

	      UTF-8 Fonts (utf8-fonts)
		     This controls whether xterm uses UTF-8 fonts for display.
		     It	 is  useful for temporarily switching xterm to display
		     text from an application which does not follow the locale
		     settings.	It combines the utf8 and utf8Fonts resources.

	      UTF-8 Titles (utf8-titles)
		     This  controls  whether  xterm accepts UTF-8 encoding for
		     title control sequences.  It corresponds to the utf8Fonts
		     resource.

		     Initially the checkmark is set according to both the utf8
		     and utf8Fonts resource values.  If the latter is  set  to
		     "always",	the checkmark is disabled.  Likewise, if there
		     are no fonts given in the	utf8Fonts  subresources,  then
		     the checkmark also is disabled.

		     The standard XTerm app-defaults file defines both sets of
		     fonts, while the UXTerm app-defaults  file	 defines  only
		     one  set.	assuming the standard app-defaults files, this
		     command will launch xterm able to	switch	between	 UTF-8
		     and ISO-8859-1 encoded fonts:

			 uxterm -class XTerm

	      The fourth section allows you to enable or disable special oper-
	      ations which can be controlled by writing	 escape	 sequences  to
	      the  terminal.   These are disabled if the SendEvents feature is
	      enabled:

	      Allow Color Ops (allow-font-ops)
		     This corresponds to the allowColorOps  resource.	Enable
		     or disable control sequences that set/query the colors.

	      Allow Font Ops (allow-font-ops)
		     This corresponds to the allowFontOps resource.  Enable or
		     disable control sequences that set/query the font.

	      Allow Tcap Ops (allow-tcap-ops)
		     Enable or disable control sequences that query the termi-
		     nal's  notion  of its function-key strings, as termcap or
		     terminfo capabilities.  This corresponds to  the  allowT-
		     capOps resource.

	      Allow Title Ops (allow-title-ops)
		     Enable  or disable control sequences that modify the win-
		     dow title or icon name.  This corresponds to the allowTi-
		     tleOps resource.

	      Allow Window Ops (allow-window-ops)
		     Enable  or	 disable extended window control sequences (as
		     used in dtterm).  This corresponds to the	allowWindowOps
		     resource.

   TEK Options
       The  tekMenu  sets  various  modes  in  the Tektronix emulation, and is
       popped up when the "control" key and pointer button two are pressed  in
       the  Tektronix  window.	 The current font size is checked in the modes
       section of the menu.

	      Large Characters (tektextlarge)

	      #2 Size Characters (tektext2)

	      #3 Size Characters (tektext3)

	      Small Characters (tektextsmall)

       Commands:

	      PAGE (tekpage)
		     Clear the Tektronix window.

	      RESET (tekreset)

	      COPY (tekcopy)

       Windows:

	      Show VT Window (vtshow)

	      Switch to VT Mode (vtmode)

	      Hide Tek Window (tekhide)

SECURITY
       X environments differ in their security consciousness.

       o   Most servers, run under xdm, are capable of using a "magic  cookie"
	   authorization  scheme  that can provide a reasonable level of secu-
	   rity for many people.  If your server is only  using	 a  host-based
	   mechanism  to  control access to the server (see xhost(1)), then if
	   you enable access for a host and other users are also permitted  to
	   run	clients on that same host, it is possible that someone can run
	   an application which uses the basic services of the X  protocol  to
	   snoop  on  your  activities,	 potentially capturing a transcript of
	   everything you type at the keyboard.

       o   Any process which has access to your X display can manipulate it in
	   ways	 that you might not anticipate, even redirecting your keyboard
	   to itself and sending events to your application's  windows.	  This
	   is  true  even with the "magic cookie" authorization scheme.	 While
	   the allowSendEvents provides some protection against rogue applica-
	   tions  tampering  with your programs, guarding against a snooper is
	   harder.

       o   The X input extension for instance allows an application to	bypass
	   all	of  the	 other	(limited) authorization and security features,
	   including the GrabKeyboard protocol.

       o   The possibility of an application spying on your keystrokes	is  of
	   particular  concern	when  you  want to type in a password or other
	   sensitive data.  The best solution to this problem is to use a bet-
	   ter authorization mechanism than is provided by X.

       Subject to all of these caveats, a simple mechanism exists for protect-
       ing keyboard input in xterm.

       The xterm menu (see MENUS  above)  contains  a  Secure  Keyboard	 entry
       which,  when  enabled,  attempts	 to  ensure that all keyboard input is
       directed only to xterm (using the GrabKeyboard protocol request).  When
       an  application	prompts	 you for a password (or other sensitive data),
       you can enable Secure Keyboard using the menu, type in  the  data,  and
       then disable Secure Keyboard using the menu again.

       o   This	 ensures  that	you  know  which window is accepting your key-
	   strokes.

       o   It cannot ensure that there are no processes which have  access  to
	   your X display that might be observing the keystrokes as well.

       Only  one X client at a time can grab the keyboard, so when you attempt
       to enable Secure Keyboard it may fail.  In this	case,  the  bell  will
       sound.	If the Secure Keyboard succeeds, the foreground and background
       colors will be exchanged (as if you selected the Reverse Video entry in
       the  Modes  menu);  they	 will  be exchanged again when you exit secure
       mode.  If the colors do not switch, then you should be very  suspicious
       that  you  are  being spoofed.  If the application you are running dis-
       plays a prompt before asking for the password, it is  safest  to	 enter
       secure mode before the prompt gets displayed, and to make sure that the
       prompt gets displayed correctly (in the new colors),  to	 minimize  the
       probability of spoofing.	 You can also bring up the menu again and make
       sure that a check mark appears next to the entry.

       Secure Keyboard mode will be disabled automatically if your xterm  win-
       dow  becomes  iconified	(or  otherwise unmapped), or if you start up a
       reparenting window manager (that places a title bar or other decoration
       around  the  window) while in Secure Keyboard mode.  (This is a feature
       of the X protocol not easily overcome.)	When this happens,  the	 fore-
       ground  and  background	colors will be switched back and the bell will
       sound in warning.

CHARACTER CLASSES
       Clicking the left pointer button twice  in  rapid  succession  (double-
       clicking) causes all characters of the same class (e.g., letters, white
       space, punctuation) to be selected as a "word".	Since different people
       have  different	preferences  for what should be selected (for example,
       should filenames be selected as a whole or only the separate subnames),
       the  default mapping can be overridden through the use of the charClass
       (class CharClass) resource.

       This resource is a series of comma-separated of range:value pairs.  The
       range is either a single number or low-high in the range of 0 to 65535,
       corresponding to the code for the character or characters  to  be  set.
       The  value  is arbitrary, although the default table uses the character
       number of the first character occurring in the set.  When not in	 UTF-8
       mode, only the first 256 bytes of this table will be used.

       The default table starts as follows -

	   static int charClass[256] = {
	   /* NUL  SOH	STX  ETX  EOT  ENQ  ACK	 BEL */
	       32,   1,	  1,   1,   1,	 1,   1,   1,
	   /*  BS   HT	 NL   VT   NP	CR   SO	  SI */
		1,  32,	  1,   1,   1,	 1,   1,   1,
	   /* DLE  DC1	DC2  DC3  DC4  NAK  SYN	 ETB */
		1,   1,	  1,   1,   1,	 1,   1,   1,
	   /* CAN   EM	SUB  ESC   FS	GS   RS	  US */
		1,   1,	  1,   1,   1,	 1,   1,   1,

	      For  example,  the string "33:48,37:48,45-47:48,38:48" indicates
	      that the exclamation mark, percent sign,	dash,  period,	slash,
	      and ampersand characters should be treated the same way as char-
	      acters and numbers.  This is  useful  for	 cutting  and  pasting
	      electronic mailing addresses and filenames.

KEY BINDINGS
       It  is  possible	 to  rebind  keys  (or sequences of keys) to arbitrary
       strings for input, by changing the translations resources for the vt100
       or  tek4014  widgets.   Changing	 the  translations resource for events
       other than key and button events is not expected, and will cause unpre-
       dictable behavior.

   ACTIONS
       The  following actions are provided for use within the vt100 or tek4014
       translations resources:

       allow-color-ops(on/off/toggle)
	       This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowColorOps  resource
	       and is also invoked by the allow-color-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-font-ops(on/off/toggle)
	       This  action  sets, unsets or toggles the allowFontOps resource
	       and is also invoked by the allow-font-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-send-events(on/off/toggle)
	       This  action  sets,  unsets  or	toggles	 the   allowSendEvents
	       resource	 and  is also invoked by the allowsends entry in main-
	       Menu.

       allow-tcap-ops(on/off/toggle)
	       This action sets, unsets or toggles the	allowTcapOps  resource
	       and is also invoked by the allow-tcap-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-title-ops(on/off/toggle)
	       This  action sets, unsets or toggles the allowTitleOps resource
	       and is also invoked by the allow-title-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-window-ops(on/off/toggle)
	       This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowWindowOps resource
	       and is also invoked by the allow-window-ops entry in fontMenu.

       alt-sends-escape()
	       This action toggles the state of the altSendsEscape resource.

       bell([percent])
	       This action rings the keyboard bell at the specified percentage
	       above or below the base volume.

       clear-saved-lines()
	       This action does hard-reset() (see below) and also  clears  the
	       history	of  lines saved off the top of the screen.  It is also
	       invoked from the clearsavedlines entry in vtMenu.   The	effect
	       is identical to a hardware reset (RIS) control sequence.

       copy-selection(destname [, ...])
	       This  action  puts  the currently selected text into all of the
	       selections or cutbuffers specified by destname.	Unlike select-
	       end,  it does not send a mouse position or otherwise modify the
	       internal selection state.

       create-menu(m/v/f/t)
	       This action creates one of the menus used by xterm, if  it  has
	       not been previously created.  The parameter values are the menu
	       names: mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, tekMenu, respectively.

       dabbrev-expand()
	       Expands the word before cursor by searching  in	the  preceding
	       text  on	 the  screen  and  in  the scrollback buffer for words
	       starting with that  abbreviation.   Repeating  dabbrev-expand()
	       several times in sequence searches for an alternative expansion
	       by looking farther back.	 Lack of more matches is signaled by a
	       beep().	Attempts to expand an empty word (i.e., when cursor is
	       preceded by a space) yield  successively	 all  previous	words.
	       Consecutive identical expansions are ignored.  The word here is
	       defined as a sequence of non-whitespace characters.  This  fea-
	       ture  partially emulates the behavior of "dynamic abbreviation"
	       expansion in Emacs (bound there to M-/).	 Here  is  a  resource
	       setting for xterm which will do the same thing:

		   *VT100*translations:	   #override \n\
			   Meta <KeyPress> /:dabbrev-expand()

       deiconify()
	       Changes the window state back to normal, if it was iconified.

       delete-is-del()
	       This action toggles the state of the deleteIsDEL resource.

       dired-button()
	       Handles	a button event (other than press and release) by echo-
	       ing the event's position (i.e., character line and  column)  in
	       the following format:

		       ^X ESC G <line+" "> <col+" ">

       fullscreen(on/off/toggle)
	       This action sets, unsets or toggles the fullscreen resource.

       iconify()
	       Iconifies the window.

       hard-reset()
	       This action resets the scrolling region, tabs, window size, and
	       cursor keys and clears the screen.  It is also invoked from the
	       hardreset entry in vtMenu.

       ignore()
	       This  action  ignores  the event but checks for special pointer
	       position escape sequences.

       insert()
	       This action inserts the character or string associated with the
	       key that was pressed.

       insert-eight-bit()
	       This  action inserts an eight-bit (Meta) version of the charac-
	       ter or string associated with the key that was  pressed.	  Only
	       single-byte  values  are	 treated  specially.  The exact action
	       depends on the value of the altSendsEscape  and	the  metaSend-
	       sEscape	and  the eightBitInput resources.  The metaSendsEscape
	       resource is tested first.  See the eightBitInput resource for a
	       full discussion.

	       The  term "eight-bit" is misleading: xterm checks if the key is
	       in the range 128 to 255 (the eighth bit is set).	 If the	 value
	       is  in  that range, depending on the resource values, xterm may
	       then do one of the following:

	       o   add 128 to the value, setting its eighth bit,

	       o   send an ESC byte before the key, or

	       o   send the key unaltered.

       exec-formatted(format, sourcename [, ...])
	       Execute an external command, using the  current	selection  for
	       part  of the command's parameters.  The first parameter, format
	       gives the basic command.	  Succeeding  parameters  specify  the
	       selection source as in insert-selection.

	       The format parameter allows these substitutions:

	       %%   inserts a "%".

	       %P   the	 screen-position  at  the beginning of the highlighted
		    region, as a semicolon-separated pair  of  integers	 using
		    the values that the CUP control sequence would use.

	       %p   the screen-position after the beginning of the highlighted
		    region, using the same convention as "%P".

	       %S   the length of the string that "%s" would insert.

	       %s   the content of the selection, unmodified.

	       %T   the length of the string that "%t" would insert.

	       %t   the selection, trimmed of leading/trailing whitespace, and
		    newlines changed to single spaces.

	       %V   the	 video	attributes at the beginning of the highlighted
		    region, as a semicolon-separated list  of  integers	 using
		    the values that the SGR control sequence would use.

	       %v   the	 video	attributes  after  the	end of the highlighted
		    region, using the same convention as "%V".

	       After constructing the command-string, xterm forks a subprocess
	       and  executes  the  command,  which  completes independently of
	       xterm.

       exec-selectable(format, onClicks)
	       Execute an external command, using data copied from the	screen
	       for  part  of  the  command's parameters.  The first parameter,
	       format gives the basic command as in exec-formatted.  The  sec-
	       ond  parameter  specifies the method for copying the data as in
	       the onClicks resource.

       insert-formatted(format, sourcename [, ...])
	       Insert the current selection or data related to it,  formatted.
	       The  first parameter, format gives the template for the data as
	       in exec-formatted.  Succeeding parameters specify the selection
	       source as in insert-selection.

       insert-selectable(format, onClicks)
	       Insert  data  copied  from  the	screen,	 formatted.  The first
	       parameter, format gives the template for the data as  in	 exec-
	       formatted.  The second parameter specifies the method for copy-
	       ing the data as in the onClicks resource.

       insert-selection(sourcename [, ...])
	       This action inserts the string found in the selection  or  cut-
	       buffer  indicated  by  sourcename.   Sources are checked in the
	       order given (case is significant) until	one  is	 found.	  Com-
	       monly-used  selections  include:	 PRIMARY, SECONDARY, and CLIP-
	       BOARD.  Cut buffers are	typically  named  CUT_BUFFER0  through
	       CUT_BUFFER7.

       insert-seven-bit()
	       This  action  is a synonym for insert() The term "seven-bit" is
	       misleading: it only implies that xterm does not try to add  128
	       to the key's value as in insert-eight-bit().

       interpret(control-sequence)
	       Interpret  the  given  control  sequence locally, i.e., without
	       passing it to the host.	This works by  inserting  the  control
	       sequence	 at  the front of the input buffer.  Use "\" to escape
	       octal digits in the string.  Xt does not allow  you  to	put  a
	       null character (i.e., "\000") in the string.

       keymap(name)
	       This  action  dynamically defines a new translation table whose
	       resource name is name with the suffix Keymap (case is  signifi-
	       cant).  The name None restores the original translation table.

       larger-vt-font()
	       Set  the	 font to the next larger one, based on the font dimen-
	       sions.  See also set-vt-font().

       load-vt-fonts(name[,class])
	       Load fontnames from the given subresource name and class.  That
	       is, load the "*VT100.name.font", resource as "*VT100.font" etc.
	       If no name is given, the original set of fontnames is restored.

	       Unlike set-vt-font(), this does	not  affect  the  escape-  and
	       select-fonts, since those are not based on resource values.  It
	       does affect the fonts loosely  organized	 under	the  "Default"
	       menu  entry,  including	font, boldFont, wideFont and wideBold-
	       Font.

       maximize()
	       Resizes the window to fill the screen.

       meta-sends-escape()
	       This action toggles the state of the metaSendsEscape resource.

       popup-menu(menuname)
	       This action displays the specified  popup  menu.	  Valid	 names
	       (case is significant) include:  mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, and
	       tekMenu.

       print(printer-flags)
	       This action prints the window.  It is also invoked by the print
	       entry in mainMenu.

	       The action accepts optional parameters, which temporarily over-
	       ride resource  settings.	  The  parameter  values  are  matched
	       ignoring case:

	       noFormFeed
		    no	form  feed  will  be  sent at the end of the last line
		    printed (i.e., printerFormFeed is ``false'').

	       FormFeed
		    a form feed will be sent at	 the  end  of  the  last  line
		    printed (i.e., printerFormFeed is ``true'').

	       noNewLine
		    no	newline	 will  be  sent	 at  the  end of the last line
		    printed, and wrapped lines	will  be  combined  into  long
		    lines (i.e., printerNewLine is ``false'').

	       NewLine
		    a  newline	will  be  sent	at  the	 end  of the last line
		    printed, and each line will be limited (by adding  a  new-
		    line)   to	the  screen  width  (i.e.,  printerNewLine  is
		    ``true'').

	       noAttrs
		    the page is printed	 without  attributes  (i.e.,  printAt-
		    tributes is ``0'').

	       monoAttrs
		    the	 page  is  printed  with monochrome (vt220) attributes
		    (i.e., printAttributes is ``1'').

	       colorAttrs
		    the page is printed	 with  ANSI  color  attributes	(i.e.,
		    printAttributes is ``2'').

       print-everything(printer-flags)
	       This  action  sends the entire text history, in addition to the
	       text currently visible, to the program given in the printerCom-
	       mand  resource.	 It allows the same optional parameters as the
	       print action.  With a suitable printer command, the action  can
	       be used to load the text history in an editor.

       print-immediate()
	       Sends  the  text	 of  the current window directly to a file, as
	       specified by  the  printFileImmediate,  printModeImmediate  and
	       printOptsImmediate resources.

       print-on-error()
	       Toggles	a flag telling xterm that if it exits with an X error,
	       to send the text of the current window directly to a  file,  as
	       specified by the printFileXError, printModeXError and printOpt-
	       sXError resources.

       print-redir()
	       This action toggles the printerControlMode  between  0  and  2.
	       The  corresponding popup menu entry is useful for switching the
	       printer off if you happen to change your mind after deciding to
	       print random binary files on the terminal.

       quit()  This  action sends a SIGHUP to the subprogram and exits.	 It is
	       also invoked by the quit entry in mainMenu.

       readline-button()
	       Supports the optional readline feature by echoing repeated cur-
	       sor  forward  or	 backward  control sequences on button release
	       event, to request that the host application update  its	notion
	       of the cursor's position to match the button event.

       redraw()
	       This  action  redraws  the  window.   It is also invoked by the
	       redraw entry in mainMenu.

       restore()
	       Restores the window to the size before it was last maximized.

       scroll-back(count [,units [,mouse] ])
	       This action scrolls the text window backward so that text  that
	       had  previously scrolled off the top of the screen is now visi-
	       ble.

	       The count argument indicates the number of units (which may  be
	       page, halfpage, pixel, or line) by which to scroll.

	       An  adjustment can be specified for these values by appending a
	       "+" or "-" sign followed by a number, e.g., page-2 to specify 2
	       lines less than a page.

	       If  the	third  parameter mouse is given, the action is ignored
	       when mouse reporting is enabled.

       scroll-forw(count [,units [,mouse] ])
	       This action is similar to scroll-back except that it scrolls in
	       the other direction.

       secure()
	       This  action  toggles the Secure Keyboard mode described in the
	       section named SECURITY, and is invoked from the securekbd entry
	       in mainMenu.

       scroll-lock(on/off/toggle)
	       This  action sets, unsets or toggles internal state which tells
	       xterm whether Scroll Lock is active, subject to the allowScrol-
	       lLock resource.

       select-cursor-end(destname [, ...])
	       This  action  is similar to select-end except that it should be
	       used with select-cursor-start.

       select-cursor-extend()
	       This action is similar to select-extend except that  it	should
	       be used with select-cursor-start.

       select-cursor-start()

	       d  or D indicate the default font (the font initially used when
		      xterm was started),

	       1 through 6 indicate the fonts specified by the	font1  through
		      font6 resources,

	       e  or  E	 indicate the normal and bold fonts that have been set
		      through escape codes (or specified  as  the  second  and
		      third action arguments, respectively), and

	       s or S indicate the font selection (as made by programs such as
		      xfontsel(1)) indicated by the second action argument.

	       If xterm is configured to support  wide	characters,  an	 addi-
	       tional  two  optional parameters are recognized for the e argu-
	       ment: wide font and wide bold font.

	       sions.  See also set-vt-font().

       soft-reset()
	       This  action  resets  the scrolling region.  It is also invoked
	       from the softreset entry in vtMenu.  The effect is identical to
	       a soft reset (DECSTR) control sequence.

       spawn-new-terminal(params)
	       Spawn  a new xterm process.  This is available on systems which
	       have a modern version of the process filesystem, e.g., "/proc",
	       which xterm can read.

	       Use  the	 "cwd"	process entry, e.g., /proc/12345/cwd to obtain
	       the working directory of the process which is  running  in  the
	       current xterm.

	       On   systems   which   have  the	 "exe"	process	 entry,	 e.g.,
	       /proc/12345/exe, use this  to  obtain  the  actual  executable.
	       Otherwise, use the $PATH variable to find xterm.

	       If  parameters  are  given  in the action, pass them to the new
	       xterm process.

       start-extend()
	       This action is similar to select-start except that  the	selec-
	       tion is extended to the current pointer location.

       start-cursor-extend()
	       This  action is similar to select-extend except that the selec-
	       tion is extended to the current text cursor position.

       string(string)
	       This action inserts the specified text string as if it had been
	       typed.	Quotation  is  necessary if the string contains white-
	       space or non-alphanumeric characters.  If the  string  argument
	       begins  with  the  characters  "0x", it is interpreted as a hex
	       character constant.

       tek-copy()
	       This action copies the escape codes used to generate  the  cur-
	       rent  window contents to a file in the current directory begin-
	       ning with the name COPY.	 It is also invoked from  the  tekcopy
	       entry in tekMenu.

       tek-page()
	       This action clears the Tektronix window.	 It is also invoked by
	       the tekpage entry in tekMenu.

       tek-reset()
	       This action resets the Tektronix window.	 It is also invoked by
	       the tekreset entry in tekMenu.

       vi-button()
	       Handles	a button event (other than press and release) by echo-
	       ing a control sequence computed from the event's line number in
	       the screen relative to the current line:

		       ESC ^P
	       or
		       ESC ^N

	       according  to whether the event is before, or after the current
	       line, respectively.  The ^N (or ^P) is repeated once  for  each
	       line that the event differs from the current line.  The control
	       sequence is omitted altogether if the button event  is  on  the
	       current line.

       visual-bell()
	       This action flashes the window quickly.

       The Tektronix window also has the following action:

       gin-press(l/L/m/M/r/R)
	       This action sends the indicated graphics input code.

			     Meta<KeyPress>: insert-eight-bit() \n\
			   !Ctrl <Btn1Down>: popup-menu(mainMenu) \n\

       Here is an example which uses shifted select/paste to copy to the clip-
       board, and unshifted select/paste for the primary selection.   In  each
       case,  a	 (different)  cut  buffer  is  also  a target or source of the
       select/paste operation.	It is important to remember however, that  cut
       buffers	store  data in ISO-8859-1 encoding, while selections can store
       data in a variety of formats  and  encodings.   While  xterm  owns  the
       selection,  it  highlights it.  When it loses the selection, it removes
       the corresponding highlight.  But you can still paste from  the	corre-
       sponding cut buffer.

	   *VT100*translations:	   #override \n\
	       ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
	       Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:  insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
	       ~Shift<BtnUp>:	    select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
	       Shift<BtnUp>:	    select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)

       Below  is  a  sample  of how the keymap() action is used to add special
       keys for entering commonly-typed works:

	   *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>F13: keymap(dbx)
	   *VT100.dbxKeymap.translations: \
		   <Key>F14: keymap(None) \n\
		   <Key>F17: string("next") string(0x0d) \n\
		   <Key>F18: string("step") string(0x0d) \n\
		   <Key>F19: string("continue") string(0x0d) \n\
		   <Key>F20: string("print ") insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)

       Some people prefer using the  left  pointer  button  for	 dragging  the
       scrollbar  thumb.   That	 can  be  setup	 by  altering the translations
       resource, e.g.,

	   *VT100.scrollbar.translations:				 #override \n\
		   <Btn5Down>:						 StartScroll(Forward) \n\
		   <Btn1Down>:						 StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
		   <Btn4Down>:						 StartScroll(Backward) \n\
		   <Btn1Motion>:					 MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
		   <BtnUp>:  NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()

CONTROL SEQUENCES AND KEYBOARD
       The Xterm Control Sequences document lists the control sequences	 which
       an  application	can  send xterm to make it perform various operations.
       Most of these operations are standardized, from either the DEC or  Tek-
       tronix terminals, or from more widely used standards such as ISO-6429.

ENVIRONMENT
       Xterm sets several environment variables:

       DISPLAY
	    is	the  display name, pointing to the X server (see DISPLAY NAMES
	    in X(7)).

       TERM is set according to the termcap (or terminfo) entry	 which	it  is
	    using as a reference.

       WINDOWID
	    is set to the X window id number of the xterm window.

       XTERM_FILTER
	    is	set  if a locale-filter is used.  The value is the pathname of
	    the filter.

       XTERM_LOCALE
	    shows the locale which was used by xterm on startup.   Some	 shell
	    initialization scripts may set a different locale.

       XTERM_SHELL
	    is	set  to the pathname of the program which is invoked.  Usually
	    that is a shell program, e.g., /bin/sh.  Since it is not necessar-
	    ily a shell program however, it is distinct from "SHELL".

       XTERM_VERSION
	    is	set  to	 the string displayed by the -version option.  That is
	    normally an identifier for the X Window libraries  used  to	 build
	    xterm, followed by xterm's patch number in parenthesis.  The patch
	    number is  also  part  of  the  response  to  a  Secondary	Device
	    Attributes (DA) control sequence (see Xterm Control Sequences).

       Depending  on your system configuration, xterm may also set the follow-
       ing:

       COLUMNS
	    the width of the xterm in characters (cf: "stty columns").

       HOME when xterm is configured to update utmp.

       LINES
	    the height of the xterm in characters (cf: "stty rows").

       LOGNAME
	    when xterm is configured to update utmp.

       SHELL
	    when xterm is configured to update utmp.  It is also  set  if  you
	    provide the shell name as the optional parameter.

       TERMCAP
	    the	 contents  of  the  termcap entry corresponding to $TERM, with
	    lines and columns values substituted for the  actual  size	window
	    you have created.

       TERMINFO
	    may be defined to a nonstandard location in the configure script.

FILES
       The actual pathnames given may differ on your system.

       /var/run/utmp
	    the system logfile, which records user logins.

       /var/log/wtmp
	    the system logfile, which records user logins and logouts.

       /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
	    the xterm default application resources.

       /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color
	    the	 xterm	color application resources.  If your display supports
	    color, use this
		      *customization: -color
	    in your .Xdefaults file to automatically use  this	resource  file
	    rather  than  /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.  If you do not do
	    this, xterm uses its compiled-in  default  resource	 settings  for
	    colors.

       /usr/share/pixmaps
	    the directory in which xterm's pixmap icon files are installed.

ERROR MESSAGES
       Most of the fatal error messages from xterm use the following format:
	      xterm: Error XXX, errno YYY: ZZZ
       The  XXX	 codes	(which	are used by xterm as its exit-code) are listed
       below, with a brief explanation.

BUGS
       Large  pastes do not work on some systems.  This is not a bug in xterm;
       it is a bug in the pseudo terminal  driver  of  those  systems.	 xterm
       feeds large pastes to the pty only as fast as the pty will accept data,
       but some pty drivers do not return enough information to	 know  if  the
       write has succeeded.

       When  connected to an input method, it is possible for xterm to hang if
       the XIM server is suspended or killed.

       Many of the options are not resettable after xterm starts.

       This program still needs to be rewritten.  It should be split into very
       modular	sections, with the various emulators being completely separate
       widgets that do not know about each other.  Ideally, you'd like	to  be
       able  to	 pick and choose emulator widgets and stick them into a single
       control widget.

       There needs to be a dialog box to allow entry  of  the  Tek  COPY  file
       name.
