     XTERM(1)            X Version 11 (Release 4)             XTER             RM(1)

     NAME
          xterm - terminal emulator for X

     SYNOPSIS
          xterm [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...]

     DESCRIPTION
          The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window
          System.  It provides DEC VT102 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), xterm will use the
          facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever
          it is resized.

          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.

          Although both windows may be displayed at the same time, one
