.SH NAME
kxterm \- the CERN KUIP terminal emulator
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kxterm
.RI [ class "] [" options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBkxterm\fP 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.
.PP
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
.I class
argument.
