+ <title>Access a UNIX shell in the MATE environment</title>
+ <p>
+ A shell is a program that interprets and executes the commands that you type at a command line prompt. When you start <app>MATE Terminal</app>, the application starts the default shell that is specified in your system account. You can switch to a different shell at any time.

+ <title>Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and <app>xterm</app> terminals</title>
+ <p><app>MATE Terminal</app> emulates the <app>xterm</app> application developed by the X Consortium. In turn, the <app>xterm</app> application 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 <key>Esc</key> character. <app>MATE Terminal</app> accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen.
