DESCRIPTION

       GNOME Terminal is a terminal emulation application that you can use  to

       perform the following actions:

       Access a UNIX shell in the GNOME environment.

       A shell is a program that interprets and executes the commands that you

       type at a command line prompt.  When  you  start  GNOME  Terminal,  the

       application  starts  the default shell that is specified in your system

       account. You can switch to a different shell at any time.

       Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and  xterm

       terminals.

       GNOME   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.

       GNOME 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.
