.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.SS MATE Terminal is a terminal emulation application that you can use to perform the following actions: 
.PP 
Access a UNIX shell in the MATE environment. 
.PP 
A shell is a program that interprets and executes the commands 
that you type at a command line prompt. When you start MATE Terminal, 
the application starts the default shell that is specified in your 
system account. You can switch to a different shell at any 
time. 
.PP 
Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, 
and xterm terminals. 
.PP 
MATE Terminal emulates the xterm program developed by the X 
Consortium. In turn, the xterm program emulates the DEC VT102 terminal 
and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence 
is a series of characters that starts with the Esc character. 
.PP 
MATE Terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 
and VT220 terminals use for functions such as positioning the cursor 
and clearing the screen.
