.SH NAME
xterm \- terminal emulator for X
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xterm
[\-\fItoolkitoption\fP ...] [\-option ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIxterm\fP program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.
It provides DEC VT102/VT220 (VTxxx) and Tektronix 4014
compatible terminals for programs that can't
use the window system directly. If the underlying operating system supports
terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems
derived from 4.3bsd), \fIxterm\fP will use the facilities to notify programs
running in the window whenever it is resized.
.PP
The VT102 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), Tektronix 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.
.PP
Although both windows may be displayed at the same time, one of them is
considered the ``active'' window for receiving keyboard input and terminal
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 VT102 window, and the ``Tek Options''
menu in the 4014 window.
.SH EMULATIONS
The VT102 emulation is fairly complete, but does not support
autorepeat.
Double-size and blinking characters are partially implemented;
the emulation is functional but does not have the appearance of a real VT102.
The VT220 emulation does not support soft fonts, it is otherwise complete.
.IR Termcap (5)
entries that work with
.I xterm
include ``xterm,'' ``vt102,'' ``vt100'' and ``ansi,'' and
.I 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 \fBdecTerminalID\fP resource.
.PP
Many of the special
.I xterm
features may be modified under program control
through a set of escape sequences different from the standard VT102 escape
sequences.
(See the
.I "Xterm Control Sequences"
document.)
.PP
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
.I xterm
and may be written to a file by sending the COPY escape sequence (or through
the
.B Tektronix
menu; see below).
The name of the file will be
``\fBCOPY\fIyyyy\fB\-\fIMM\fB\-\fIdd\fB.\fIhh\fB:\fImm\fB:\fIss\fP'', where
.IR yy ,
.IR MM ,
.IR dd ,
.IR hh ,
.I mm
and
.I ss
are the year, month, day, hour, minute and second when the COPY was performed
(the file is created in the directory
.I xterm
is started in, or the home directory for a login
.IR xterm ).
.SH "OTHER FEATURES"
.I 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.
.PP
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
.IR termcap (5)
entry for
.I xterm
allows the visual editor
.IR vi (1)
to switch to the alternate screen for editing and to restore the screen
on exit.
.PP
In either VT102 or Tektronix mode, there are escape sequences to change the
name of the windows.
Additionally, in VT102 mode,
\fIxterm\fP implements the window-manipulation control
sequences from \fIdtterm\fP, such as resizing the window, setting its location
on the screen.
.PP
.I Xterm
allows character-based applications to receive mouse events (currently
button-press and release events only) as keyboard control sequences.
See \fIXterm Control Sequences\fP for details.
.SH OPTIONS
The \fIxterm\fP terminal emulator
accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as
the following (if the option begins with a
.RB ` + '
instead of a
.RB ` \- ',
the option is restored to its default value).
The \-version and \-help options are interpreted even if \fIxterm\fP cannot
open the display, and are useful for testing and configuration scripts:
.TP 8
.B \-version
This causes \fIxterm\fP to print a version number to the standard output.
.TP 8
.B \-help
This causes \fIxterm\fP to print out a verbose message describing its options.
The message is written to the standard error.
.PP
The other options are used to control the appearance and behavior:
.TP 8
.B \-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
.I xterm
window will resize appropriately.
.TP 8
.B \-ah
This option indicates that
.I xterm
should always highlight the text cursor. By default,
.I xterm
will display a hollow text cursor whenever the focus is lost or the
pointer leaves the window.
.TP 8
.B \+ah
This option indicates that
.I xterm
should do text cursor highlighting based on focus.
.TP 8
.B \-ai
This option disables active icon support if that feature was compiled
into xterm. This is equivalent to setting the \fIvt100\fP resource
\fBactiveIcon\fP to FALSE.
.TP 8
.B \+ai
This option enables active icon support if that feature was compiled
into xterm. This is equivalent to setting the \fIvt100\fP resource
\fBactiveIcon\fP to TRUE.
.TP 8
.B \-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 when it is at the rightmost position of a line and text is
output.
.TP 8
.B \+aw
This option indicates that auto-wraparound should not be allowed.
.TP 8
.BI \-b " number"
This option specifies the size of the inner border (the distance between
the outer edge of the characters and the window border) in pixels. The
default is 2.
.TP 8
.B "\-bdc"
This option disables the display of characters with bold attribute as color
rather than bold.
.TP 8
.B "\+bdc"
This option enables the display of characters with bold attribute as color
rather than bold.
.TP 8
.B "\-cb"
Set the \fIvt100\fP resource \fBcutToBeginningOfLine\fP to FALSE.
.TP 8
.B "\+cb"
Set the \fIvt100\fP resource \fBcutToBeginningOfLine\fP to TRUE.
.TP 8
.B "\-cc \fIcharacterclassrange\fP:\fIvalue\fP[,...]"
This sets classes indicated by the given ranges for using in selecting by
words. See the section specifying character classes.
.TP 8
.B "\-cm"
This option disables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences.
.TP 8
.B "\+cm"
This option enables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences.
.TP 8
.B "\-cn"
This option indicates that newlines should not be cut in line-mode
selections.
.TP 8
.B \+cn
This option indicates that newlines should be cut in line-mode selections.
.TP 8
.BI \-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.
.TP 8
.B \-cu
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should work around a bug in the
.IR 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
.IR curses (3x)
cursor motion package.
.TP 8
.B \+cu
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should not work around the
.IR more (1)
bug mentioned above.
.TP 8
.B "\-dc"
This option disables the escape sequence to change dynamic colors:
the vt100 foreground and background colors,
the text cursor color,
the mouse cursor foreground and background colors,
the Tektronix emulator foreground and background colors,
and highlight color.
.TP 8
.B "\+dc"
This option enables the escape sequence to change dynamic colors.
.TP 8
.BI \-e " program \fP[ \fIarguments \fP.\|.\|. ]\fI"
This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be
run in the \fIxterm\fP window. It also sets the window title and icon
name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither \fI\-T\fP
nor \fI\-n\fP are given on the command line. \fBThis must be the last
option on the command line.\fP
.TP 8
.BI \-fb " font"
This option specifies a font to be used when displaying bold text.
This font must be the same height and width as the normal font.
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.
The default is to do overstriking of the normal font.
.TP 8
.B \-fi
This option sets the font for active icons if that feature was compiled
into xterm.
.TP 8
.BI \-hc " color"
This option specifies the color to use for the background of
selected or otherwise highlighted text. If not specified,
reverse video is used.
.TP 8
.B \-im
Turn on the \fBuseInsertMode\fP resource.
.TP 8
.B +im
Turn off the \fBuseInsertMode\fP resource.
.TP 8
.B \-j
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should do jump scrolling. Normally,
text is scrolled one line at a time; this option allows \fIxterm\fP to move
multiple lines at a time so that it doesn't fall as far behind. Its use is
strongly recommended since it make \fIxterm\fP 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
feature on or off.
.TP 8
.B \+j
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should not do jump scrolling.
.TP 8
.B \-leftbar
Force scrollbar to the left side of VT100 screen.
This is the default, unless you have set the rightScrollBar resource.
.TP 8
.B \-ls
This option indicates that the shell that is started in the \fIxterm\fP 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).
.TP 8
.B \+ls
This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login
shell (i.e. it will be a normal ``subshell'').
.TP 8
.B \-mb
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should ring a margin bell when
the user types near the right end of a line. This option can be turned on
and off from the ``VT Options'' menu.
.TP 8
.B \+mb
This option indicates that margin bell should not be rung.
.TP 8
.B "\-mc milliseconds"
This option specifies the maximum time between multi-click selections.
.TP 8
.BI \-ms " color"
This option specifies the color to be used for the pointer cursor. The default
is to use the foreground color.
.TP 8
.BI \-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.
.TP 8
.B "\-nul"
This option enables the display of underlining.
.TP 8
.B "\+nul"
This option disables the display of underlining.
.TP 8
.B \-pc
This option enables the PC-style use of bold colors (see boldColors
resource).
.TP 8
.B \+pc
This option disables the PC-style use of bold colors.
.TP 8
.B \-rightbar
Force scrollbar to the right side of VT100 screen.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \+rw
This option indicates that reverse-wraparound should not be allowed.
.TP 8
.B \-s
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP may scroll asynchronously, meaning that
the screen does not have to be kept completely up to date while scrolling.
This allows \fIxterm\fP to run faster when network latencies are very high
and is typically useful when running across a very large internet or many
gateways.
.TP 8
.B \+s
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should scroll synchronously.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \+sb
This option indicates that a scrollbar should not be displayed.
.TP 8
.B \-sf
This option indicates that Sun Function Key escape codes should be generated
for function keys.
.TP 8
.B \+sf
This option indicates that the standard escape codes should be generated for
function keys.
.TP 8
.B \-si
This option indicates that output to a window should not automatically
reposition the screen to the bottom of the scrolling region.
This option can be turned on and off from the ``VT Options'' menu.
.TP 8
.B \+si
This option indicates that output to a window should cause it to
scroll to the bottom.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \+sk
This option indicates that pressing a key while using the scrollbar
should not cause the window to be repositioned.
.TP 8
.BI \-sl " number"
This option specifies the number of lines to save that have been scrolled
off the top of the screen. The default is 64.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \+sp
This option indicates that the standard escape codes should be generated for
keypad and function keys.
.TP 8
.B \-t
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should start in Tektronix mode, rather
than in VT102 mode. Switching between the two windows is done using the
``Options'' menus.
.TP 8
.B \+t
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should start in VT102 mode.
.TP 8
.BI \-tm " string"
This option specifies a series of terminal setting keywords followed by the
characters that should be bound to those functions, similar to the \fIstty\fP
program. Allowable keywords include: intr, quit, erase, kill, eof,
eol, swtch, start, stop, brk, susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and lnext.
Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g. ^c or ^u) and ^? may be
used to indicate delete.
.TP 8
.BI \-tn " name"
This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the TERM
environment variable. This terminal type must exist in the \fItermcap(5)\fP
database and should have \fIli#\fP and \fIco#\fP entries.
.TP 8
.B "\-ulc"
This option disables the display of characters with underline attribute as
color rather than with underlining.
.TP 8
.B "\+ulc"
This option enables the display of characters with underline attribute as
color rather than with underlining.
.TP 8
.B \-ut
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP shouldn't write a record into the
the system log file \fI/etc/utmp\fP.
.TP 8
.B \+ut
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should write a record into the system
log file \fI/etc/utmp\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \+vb
This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used.
.TP 8
.B \-wf
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP 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.
.TP 8
.B \+wf
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP show not wait before starting the
subprocess.
.TP 8
.B \-C
This option indicates that this window should receive console output. This
is not supported on all systems. To obtain console 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 \fIxdm\fP 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.
.TP 8
.B \-S\fIccn\fP
This option specifies the last two letters of the name of a pseudo-terminal
to use in slave mode, plus the number of the inherited file descriptor.
The option is parsed ``%c%c%d''.
This allows \fIxterm\fP to be used as an input and
output channel for an existing program and is sometimes used in specialized
applications.
.PP
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.
.TP 8
.B "%\fIgeom\fP"
This option specifies the preferred size and position of the Tektronix window.
It is shorthand for specifying the ``\fI*tekGeometry\fP'' resource.
.TP 8
.B \ #\fIgeom\fP
This option specifies the preferred position of the icon window.
It is shorthand for specifying the ``\fI*iconGeometry\fP'' resource.
.TP 8
.BI \-T " string"
This option specifies the title for \fIxterm\fP's windows.
It is equivalent to \fB\-title\fP.
.TP 8
.BI \-n " string"
This option specifies the icon name for \fIxterm\fP's windows.
It is shorthand for specifying the ``\fI*iconName\fP'' resource.
Note that this is not the same as the toolkit option \fB\-name\fP (see below).
The default icon name is the application name.
.TP 8
.B \-r
This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping
the foreground and background colors. It is equivalent to
\fB\-rv\fP.
.TP 8
.BI \-w " number"
This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.
It is equivalent to \fB\-borderwidth\fP or \fB\-bw\fP.
.PP
The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used
with \fIxterm\fP:
.TP 8
.B \-bd \fIcolor\fP
This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window.
The default is ``black.''
.TP 8
.B \-bg \fIcolor\fP
This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window.
The default is ``white.''
.TP 8
.B \-bw \fInumber\fP
This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.
.TP 8
.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP
This option specifies the X server to contact; see \fIX(1)\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-fg \fIcolor\fP
This option specifies the color to use for displaying text. The default is
``black.''
.TP 8
.B \-fn \fIfont\fP
This option specifies the font to be used for displaying normal text. The
default is \fIfixed\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-geometry \fIgeometry\fP
This option specifies the preferred size and position of the VT102 window;
see \fIX(1)\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-iconic
This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should ask the window manager to
start it as an icon rather than as the normal window.
.TP 8
.B \-name \fIname\fP
This option specifies the application name under which resources are to be
obtained, rather than the default executable file name.
\fIName\fP should not contain ``.'' or ``*'' characters.
.TP 8
.B \-rv
This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping
the foreground and background colors.
.TP 8
.B \-title \fIstring\fP
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 \fB\-e\fP option, if any, otherwise the application
name.
.TP 8
.B \-xrm \fIresourcestring\fP
This option specifies a resource string to be used. This is especially
useful for setting resources that do not have separate command line options.
.SH RESOURCES
The program understands all of the core X Toolkit resource names and
classes as well as:
.\".in +1in
.TP 8
.B "iconGeometry (\fPclass\fB IconGeometry)"
Specifies the preferred size and position of the application when iconified.
It is not necessarily obeyed by all window managers.
.TP 8
.B "iconName (\fPclass\fB IconName)"

.SH "POINTER USAGE"
.PP
Once the VT102 window is created,
.I xterm
allows you to select text and copy it within the same or other windows.
.PP
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 \fBACTIONS\fP below.
.PP
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. Double-clicking selects by words. Triple-clicking
selects by lines. 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.
If the key/button bindings specify that an X selection is to be made,
\fIxterm\fP will leave the selected text highlighted for as long as it
is the selection owner.
.PP
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.
.PP
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,
.I 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.
.PP
By cutting and pasting pieces of text without trailing new lines,
you can take text from several places in different windows and form a command
to the shell, for example, or take output from a program and insert it into
your favorite editor.
Since the cut buffer is globally shared among different applications,
you should regard it 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.
.PP
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.
.PP
Clicking button one with the pointer in the scroll region moves the
adjacent line to the top of the display window.
.PP
Clicking button three moves the top line of the display window down to the
pointer position.
.PP
Clicking button two moves the display to a position in the saved text
that corresponds to the pointer's position in the scrollbar.
.PP
Unlike the VT102 window, the Tektronix window does not allow the copying 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
.IR tty (4)
for details).
.SH MENUS
.PP
.I Xterm
has four menus, named
.IR mainMenu ,
.IR vtMenu ,
.IR fontMenu ,
and
.IR tekMenu .
Each menu pops up under the correct combinations of key and button presses.
Most menus are divided into two section, separated by a horizontal line.
The top portion contains various 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.
The bottom portion of the menu are command entries; selecting one of these
performs the indicated function.
.PP
The
.B xterm
menu pops up when the ``control'' key and pointer button one are
pressed in a window.
The \fImainMenu\fP contains items that apply to both the VT102 and Tektronix
windows.
The
.B Secure Keyboard
mode is be used when typing in passwords or other sensitive data in an
unsecure environment;
see \fBSECURITY\fP below.
Notable entries in the command section of the menu are the
.BR Continue ,
.BR Suspend ,
.BR Interrupt ,
.BR Hangup ,
.B Terminate
and
.B Kill
which sends the SIGCONT, SIGTSTP, SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM and
SIGKILL signals, respectively, to the process group of the process running
under
.I xterm
(usually the shell).
The
.B Continue
function is especially useful if the user has accidentally typed CTRL-Z,
suspending the process.
.PP
The
.I 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.
In the command section of this menu, the soft reset entry will 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).
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
.I xterm
has finished processing the command line options.
.PP
The \fIfontMenu\fP sets the font used in the VT102 window.
In addition to the default font and a number of alternatives that are
set with resources, the menu offers the font last specified by the Set
Font escape sequence (see the document \fIXterm Control Sequences\fP)
and the current selection as a font name (if the PRIMARY selection is owned).
.PP
The
.I 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.
The
.B PAGE
entry in the command section clears the Tektronix window.
.SH SECURITY
.PP
X environments differ in their security consciousness. Most servers, run
under \fIxdm\fP, are capable of using a ``magic cookie'' authorization
scheme that can provide a reasonable level of security for many people.
If your server is only using a host-based mechanism to control access to
the server (see \fIxhost(1)\fP), then if you enable access for a host and
other users are also permitted to run clients on that same host, there is
every possibility that someone can run an application that will use the
basic services of the X protocol to snoop on your activities, potentially
capturing a transcript of everything you type at the keyboard.
This 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 better
authorization mechanism that host-based control, but a simple
mechanism exists for protecting keyboard input in \fIxterm\fP.
.PP
The \fBxterm\fP menu (see \fBMENUS\fP above) contains a \fBSecure Keyboard\fP
entry which, when enabled, ensures that all keyboard input is directed
\fIonly\fP to \fIxterm\fP (using the GrabKeyboard protocol request).
When an application prompts you for a password
(or other sensitive data), you can enable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP using the
menu, type in the data, and then disable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP using
the menu again. Only one X client at a time can secure the keyboard,
so when you attempt to enable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP it may fail. In
this case, the bell will sound. If the \fBSecure Keyboard\fP succeeds,
the foreground and background colors will be exchanged (as if you
selected the \fBReverse Video\fP entry in the \fBModes\fP menu);
they will be exchanged again when you exit secure mode. If the colors
do \fInot\fP switch, then
you should be \fIvery\fP suspicious that you are being spoofed. If
the application you are running displays a prompt before asking for
the password, it is safest to enter secure mode \fIbefore\fP 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.
.PP
\fBSecure Keyboard\fP mode will be disabled automatically if your xterm
window 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 \fBSecure Keyboard\fP mode. (This is a
feature of the X protocol not easily overcome.) When this happens,
the foreground and background colors will be switched back and the bell
will sound in warning.
.SH "CHARACTER CLASSES"
Clicking the middle mouse button twice in rapid succession will cause all
characters of the same class (e.g. letters, white space, punctuation) to be
selected. 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 \fIcharClass\fP (class \fICharClass\fP) resource.
.PP
This resource is a
series of comma-separated
of \fIrange\fP:\fIvalue\fP pairs. The
\fIrange\fP is either a single number or \fIlow\fP-\fIhigh\fP in the range of 0
to 127, corresponding to the ASCII code for the character or characters to be
set. The \fIvalue\fP is arbitrary, although the default table uses the
character number of the first character occurring in the set.
.PP
The default table is

For example, the string ``33:48,37:48,45-47:48,64:48'' indicates that the
exclamation mark, percent sign, dash, period, slash, and ampersand characters
should be treated the same way as characters and numbers. This is useful
for cutting and pasting electronic mailing addresses and filenames.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.I Xterm
sets the environment variables ``TERM'' and ``TERMCAP'' properly for the
size window you have created.
It also uses and sets the environment
variable ``DISPLAY'' to specify which bit map display terminal to use.
The environment variable ``WINDOWID'' is set to the X window id number
of the
.I xterm
window.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
resize(1), X(1), pty(4), tty(4)
.br
\fIXterm Control Sequences\fP
(this is the file ctlseqs.ms).
.SH BUGS
.PP
Large pastes do not work on some systems. This is not a bug in
\fIxterm\fP; it is a bug in the pseudo terminal driver of those
systems. \fIxterm\fP 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.
.PP
Many of the options are not resettable after
.I xterm
starts.
.PP
This program still needs to be rewritten. It should be split into very
modular sections, with the various emulators being completely separate
widgets that don't 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.
.PP
There needs to be a dialog box to allow entry of the Tek COPY file name.
