        !             3: xset - X window system user setup program
        !             4: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             5: .B xset
        !             6: option [ option ] [ \fIfhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP ]
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: This program is used to set various user preference options of the display.
        !             9: The \fBc\fP option controls key click,
        !            10: the \fBl\fP option controls the lock key,
        !            11: the \fBr\fP option controls the auto repeat,
        !            12: the \fBb\fP option controls bell volume,
        !            13: the \fBm\fP option controls the mouse parameters,
        !            14: the \fBp\fP option controls pixel color values,
        !            15: and the \fBs\fP and \fBv\fP options let you set the screen saver parameters.
        !            16: Any of these can be preceded with a \fB-\fP to disable the feature,
        !            17: or followed by \fBon\fP or \fBoff\fP if you prefer.
        !            18: The keyclick option can also be followed by an optional digit between
        !            19: 1 and 8 to indicate volume.
        !            20: For example: ``xset c on'' turns on keyclick;
        !            21: ``xset -r'' would turn off autorepeat;
        !            22: ``xset b 5'' sets the bell volume.
        !            23: .PP
        !            24: The parameters for the mouse are ``acceleration'' and ``threshold''.
        !            25: The acceleration of the mouse only takes effect if the ``threshold'' is
        !            26: exceeded.
        !            27: .PP
        !            28: The parameters for a pixel are the color map entry number in decimal,
        !            29: and a color specification.  The root window colors can be changed by
        !            30: altering entries 0 and 1.  The map entry must not be a read-only color,
        !            31: or an error will result.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: The parameters for the screen saver function determines how long the
        !            34: server must be inactive for screen saving to go on, and the period
        !            35: to change the background pattern to avoid burn in.
        !            36: The arguments are specified in minutes.  Using the \fBv\fP option sets the
        !            37: preference to blank the video (if the hardware can do so) rather than display
        !            38: a background pattern.  Using the \fBs\fP option sets the preference to display
        !            39: a pattern rather than blank the video.
        !            40: .PP
        !            41: These settings will be reset to default values when you log out.
        !            42: .PP
        !            43: Note that not all X implementations are guaranteed to honor all of these
        !            44: options.
