        !            14: DESCRIPTION
        !            15:      This program is used to set various user preference options
        !            16:      of the display.  The c option controls key click, the l
        !            17:      option controls the lock key, the r option controls the auto
        !            18:      repeat, the b option controls bell volume, the m option con-
        !            19:      trols the mouse parameters, the p option controls pixel
        !            20:      color values, and the s and v options let you set the screen
        !            21:      saver parameters. Any of these can be preceded with a - to
        !            22:      disable the feature, or followed by on or off if you prefer.
        !            23:      The keyclick option can also be followed by an optional
        !            24:      digit between 1 and 8 to indicate volume. For example:
        !            25:      ``xset c on'' turns on keyclick; ``xset -r'' would turn off
        !            26:      autorepeat; ``xset b 5'' sets the bell volume.
        !            27: 
        !            28:      The parameters for the mouse are ``acceleration'' and
        !            29:      ``threshold''.  The acceleration of the mouse only takes
        !            30:      effect if the ``threshold'' is exceeded.
        !            31: 
        !            32:      The parameters for a pixel are the color map entry number in
        !            33:      decimal, and a color specification.  The root window colors
        !            34:      can be changed by altering entries 0 and 1.  The map entry
        !            35:      must not be a read-only color, or an error will result.
        !            36: 
        !            37:      The parameters for the screen saver function determines how
        !            38:      long the server must be inactive for screen saving to go on,
        !            39:      and the period to change the background pattern to avoid
        !            40:      burn in.  The arguments are specified in minutes. Using the
        !            41:      v option sets the preference to blank the video (if the
        !            42:      hardware can do so) rather than display a background pat-
        !            43:      tern.  Using the s option sets the preference to display a
        !            44:      pattern rather than blank the video.
        !            45: 
        !            46:      These settings will be reset to default values when you log
        !            47:      out.
        !            48: 
        !            49:      Note that not all X implementations are guaranteed to honor
        !            50:      all of these options.
