        !             6: [ option ] ...
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: .I Xterm
        !             9: is the
        !            10: .I X
        !            11: window system terminal emulator.
        !            12: It attempts to emulate a DEC VT102 terminal
        !            13: to provide a standard terminal type for programs not aware of the window
        !            14: system directly.
        !            15: Under 4.3BSD, Ultrix 1.2 and other systems with the capability,
        !            16: .I xterm
        !            17: supports the terminal resizing facilities built into the system.
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: In addition,
        !            20: .I xterm
        !            21: emulates the Tektronix 4015 in a separate window.
        !            22: .I Note: Tektronix mode is untested for X 11 and guaranteed not to work at this
        !            23: .I time.
        !            24: To maintain the correct aspect ratio (height/width), Tektronix graphics will
        !            25: be restricted to the
        !            26: largest box with a 4015's aspect ratio that will fit in the window.
        !            27: This box is located in the upper left area of the window.
        !            28: .PP
        !            29: Both windows may be displayed at the same time, though only one window and
        !            30: mode is active at a time.
        !            31: Input will be displayed in the active window even if the mouse is in the other
        !            32: window.
        !            33: Switching between the active modes is possible under manual (menu) and program
        !            34: (escape sequence) control.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: .I Xterm
        !            37: understands the following options.
        !            38: If the option begins with a
        !            39: .RB ` + '
        !            40: instead of a
        !            41: .RB ` \- ',
        !            42: the option is restored to its default value.
        !            43: These options override those set in the ``.Xdefaults'' file (see the
        !            44: .B "X DEFAULTS"
        !            45: section).

        !            48: Normally, the VT102 DECCOLM escape sequence that switches between 80 and
        !            49: 132 column mode is ignored.
        !            50: This option causes the DECCOLM escape sequence to be recognized, and the
        !            51: .I xterm
        !            52: window will resize appropriately.
