-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.SS MATE Terminal is a terminal emulation application that you can use to perform the following actions:
-.PP
-Access a UNIX shell in the MATE environment.
-.PP
-A shell is a program that interprets and executes the commands
-that you type at a command line prompt. When you start MATE Terminal,
-the application starts the default shell that is specified in your
-system account. You can switch to a different shell at any
-time.
-.PP
-Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220,
-and xterm terminals.
-.PP
-MATE Terminal emulates the xterm program developed by the X
-Consortium. In turn, the xterm program emulates the DEC VT102 terminal
-and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence
-is a series of characters that starts with the Esc character.
-.PP
-MATE Terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102
-and VT220 terminals use for functions such as positioning the cursor
-and clearing the screen.
