The easiest way to start Terminal is to use the applications menu of your desktop;
for Xfce, point your mouse cursor to the desktop, press the right mouse button
and choose <span class="guimenu"><strong>System</strong></span> → <span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Terminal</strong></span>.
</p><p>
You can also start Terminal from a command line or from the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Application
launcher</strong></span>. Just hit <span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>F2</strong></span>, type
<strong class="userinput"><code><span class="command"><strong>Terminal</strong></span></code></strong> and click the button
<span class="guibutton"><strong>Run</strong></span>.

When you start Terminal for the first time, the application opens a terminal window
with default settings.
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/terminal-first-time.png" alt="Example of a default terminal window"></div></div><p>
The terminal window displays a command prompt where you can type UNIX
commands. The command prompt may vary depending on the configuration of
your shell. The cursor is positioned at the command prompt. When you type a
UNIX command and press <span class="keycap"><strong>Return</strong></span>, the computer
executes the command. By default, Terminal will use the login shell of the user
who starts the application (<code class="filename">/bin/bash</code> in case of a
default Linux installation).
</p><p>
Terminal sets the following environment variables for the command
running inside the terminal window:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="varname">TERM</code></span></dt><dd><p>Set to <code class="literal">xterm</code> or <code class="literal">xterm-color</code>, you
can configure the value from the preferences dialog.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="varname">COLORTERM</code></span></dt><dd><p>Set to <code class="literal">Terminal</code> by default.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="varname">DISPLAY</code></span></dt><dd><p>Set to the X11 display of the terminal by default.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="varname">WINDOWID</code></span></dt><dd><p>Set to the X11 window identifier of the terminal by default.</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="sect2" title="Working with multiple terminals"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id458349"></a>Working with multiple terminals</h3></div></div></div><p>
Terminal provides a tab feature that enables you to open several terminals
within a single window. Each terminal is opened in a separate tab. Click on the
appropriate tab to display the terminal in the window. Each tabbed terminal in
a window is separate sub-process, so you can use each terminal for a different
task.

See <a class="xref" href="usage.html" title="Usage">the section called „Usage“</a> for information about how to open a new tabbed
terminal.
</p><p>
You can close a terminal tab by clicking on the close button in the terminal
tab header or by choosing <span class="guimenu"><strong>File</strong></span> → <span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Close
Tab</strong></span> from the menubar.
