+.SH "DESCRIPTION"

+.PP

+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.
