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
