NAME

       kxterm - the CERN KUIP terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       kxterm [class] [options]

DESCRIPTION

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

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

OPTIONS

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

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

       -h, -help
              Show a summary of options.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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