-.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.
