_x_w_s_h is a terminal emulation program that runs a login shell (or other
UNIX command) within its own window on the screen.
Command line options are available to specify the font, window size,
title, and position when _x_w_s_h starts up. The command line options are:
----aaaannnncccchhhhoooorrrr _a_n_c_h_o_r-_p_o_i_n_t
Set the anchor point for window size changes. When the window
size is changed from the size menu, xwsh needs to define which
corner of the window is anchored down during the size change.
xwsh attempts to keep the anchor point constant across the size
change. Legal values are nnnnoooorrrrtttthhhhwwwweeeesssstttt, nnnnoooorrrrtttthhhh, nnnnoooorrrrtttthhhheeeeaaaasssstttt, eeeeaaaasssstttt,
ssssoooouuuutttthhhheeeeaaaasssstttt, ssssoooouuuutttthhhh, ssssoooouuuutttthhhhwwwweeeesssstttt, wwwweeeesssstttt, cccceeeennnntttteeeerrrr, and ssssttttaaaattttiiiicccc.
----aaaauuuuttttooooffffoooorrrrkkkk
Make _x_w_s_h run in the background.
----bbbbgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the background (page) color.
----bbbbiiiinnnnddddkkkkeeeeyyyy2222ddddccccssss
Enable key bindings to device control strings and internal xwsh
functions. Unless explicitly enabled, xwsh will no longer bind
keys to control strings (see DCS codes 101 and 103 below).
----bbbboooolllldddd _c_o_l_o_r
Set the bold text color. This color is used when ansi SGR bold
is done.
----bbbboooollllddddffffoooonnnntttt _f_o_n_t
Define the bold font. The bold font is used when the ansi SGR
bold is done. Note that both a color and a font can be chosen
and that both will apply.

Define the bold italic font. When both ansi SGR bold and ansi
SGR italic are done this font is used.
----cccccccc _s_t_r_i_n_g
Change the character class table using _s_t_r_i_n_g. _S_t_r_i_n_g is
composed of zero or more comma separated "range:value"
substrings. _r_a_n_g_e can be either a single number or a pair of "-"
separated numbers. When a single number is specified a single
characters class is set to the _v_a_l_u_e. When a _r_a_n_g_e is specified,
all the characters inclusively in the range are have their class
set to _v_a_l_u_e. The character class is used by the double click
logic to determine what is similar and what is different.
Characters that share the same character class are considered
similar. The initial character class table contains the
following values:
32, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,

----ccccoooonnnnssssoooolllleeee
Make this xwsh the console. All this does is issue the TIOCCONS
ioctl in the child process on the pty. If it succeeds then the
xwsh will manage console output and input. If it fails, a
warning will appear in the first line of the xwsh.
----ccccuuuurrrrssssoooorrrrbbbbgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the cursor background color.
----ccccuuuurrrrssssoooorrrrffffgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the cursor foreground color. This the color that the
character under the cursor (if any) will be rendered in.
----ddddiiiissssppppllllaaaayyyy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y
Define which display xwsh will display to.
----eeee _c_m_d [_a_r_g_s]
Execute a child program within the _x_w_s_h window, using the
specified command line arguments, rather than the default login
shell (determined from the password database). The ----eeee option
will pass all trailing arguments to _x_w_s_h , to be executed as a
command line. Thus, if ----eeee is given, it must appear as the final
_x_w_s_h option. In order to determine what state the tty should
have _x_w_s_h will examine the file $_H_O_M_E/._w_s_h_t_t_y_m_o_d_e. This file
should be created using the output of _s_t_t_y -_g. If the file
doesn't exist, or if the file contains improper information, _x_w_s_h
will use the system defaults for the tty state.
----ffffgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the foreground (text) color.
----ffffnnnn _f_o_n_t
Set the primary rendition font. Note that different fonts can be
used for bold, italic and bold-italic renditions. See ansi SGR
below in the section on escape sequences. If a proportional
width font is chosen xwsh will still function as a terminal
emulator. The characters will be positioned based on their
natural widths, but the right margin will remain at the number of
columns being emulated (usually 80). This means that a line may
wrap _b_e_f_o_r_e or _a_f_t_e_r the right edge of the window is reached.
----ggggeeeeoooommmmeeeettttrrrryyyy _g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y-_s_t_r_i_n_g
This option provides xwsh with an X compatible geometry
specification. If the geometry-string includes x and y
coordinates, then xwsh will automatically set the anchor point
(see the -anchor option for more information). This option will
not be propagated via a _c_l_o_n_e.

Keyboard input is no longer accepted once the child process that
xwsh is managing exits.
----hhhhiiiigggghhhhlllliiiigggghhhhttttUUUURRRRLLLL
Cause _x_w_s_h to highlight any URLs it detects in the stream of text
that it prints. See below for more details about XWsh and URLs.
This option is off by default.
----hhhhoooollllddddoooonnnneeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr
Inform _x_w_s_h that it should hold the display when the command
exits, if and only if the command exits with an error. Keyboard
input is no longer accepted once the child process that xwsh is
managing exits.
----iiiibbbbmmmm Tell xwsh to use rebind the keyboard to look as much like an IBM

----iiiiccccoooonnnniiiicccc Start up _x_w_s_h in an iconic form.
----iiiiccccoooonnnnttttiiiittttlllleeee _s_t_r_i_n_g
Define the icon title for the xwsh window. The icon title can be
set separately from the window title using this option.
----iiiittttaaaalllliiiiccccffffoooonnnntttt _f_o_n_t
Define the italic font. The italic font is used when the ansi

----kkkkeeeeyyyymmmmaaaapppp _f_i_l_e
Define a key map file for the xwsh window. See the section below
on key maps.
----lllloooogggg _f_i_l_e
Have _x_w_s_h log the output of the child program into _f_i_l_e.
----mmmmaaaaxxxx _C_O_L_Sxxxx_L_I_N_E_S
Set the maximum window size, as the number of columns wide by the
number of lines high. There is no default maximum window size.
Note that the xxxx is literal. For example, 88880000xxxx44440000 would limit xwsh
to a maximum of 80 columns and 40 rows.
----mmmmiiiinnnn _C_O_L_Sxxxx_L_I_N_E_S
Set the minimum window size, as the number of columns wide by the

Note that the xxxx is literal. For example, 88880000xxxx11110000 would limit xwsh
to a minimum of 80 columns and 10 rows.
----nnnnaaaammmmeeee _i_n_s_t_a_n_c_e-_n_a_m_e
Provide a unique name for an _x_w_s_h window. This name becomes the
instance name of the specific xwsh, with the class name always
being "XWsh".

----nnnnoooobbbbiiiinnnnddddkkkkeeeeyyyy2222ddddccccssss
Disallow binding of keys to device control strings (see DCS codes
101 and 103 below).
----nnnnooookkkkeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd
Run _x_w_s_h without a keyboard. Any data received from the main
keyboard is ignored. Use this when you need an output only _x_w_s_h.
----nnnnoooommmmeeeennnnuuuu Disable the menu. No menu will appear, thus disabling font and
size changes for xwsh.
----nnnnoooossssccccrrrroooollllllllbbbbaaaarrrr
Disable the scroll bar in xwsh. No scroll bar will be made
visible, though more than a windows full of data may be retained
with the ----ssssllll option. By using local key bindings the data may
still be viewed.
----nnnnoooosssseeeennnndddd Disable the middle-pointer _s_e_n_d feature.
----rrrreeeeddddiiiirrrreeeecccctttt _d_e_v_i_c_e
Provide an alternate (redirect) output device. When _x_w_s_h
receives a "toggle-redirect" command from a locally bound
function key, the output of the _x_w_s_h is redirected to the given
device.
----sssseeeellllbbbbgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the selection background (page) color.
----sssseeeellllffffgggg _c_o_l_o_r
Set the selection foreground color. This the color that
characters in the selection will be rendered in.
----ssssllll _r_e_t_a_i_n_l_i_m_i_t
set the number of _l_i_n_e_s of text retained by _x_w_s_h. Using the
scroll bar one can view all of the lines retained by _x_w_s_h. New
lines entered by _x_w_s_h are retained up to the limit specified by
_l_i_n_e_s; after this, lines are deleted from the ``top'' of the list
of lines. Setting _l_i_n_e_s to zero eliminates the scroll bar. The
default value is 1000.
----ttttiiiittttlllleeee _t_i_t_l_e
Set the title of the window to _t_i_t_l_e.
----ttttrrrraaaannnnssssiiiieeeennnntttt _w_i_n_d_o_w
Make xwsh a transient for window. If window is "root" then xwsh

----vvvvbbbb Tell xwsh to use a visual bell whenever it receives octal 7. The
default behavior is to ask X to ring the bell.
----vvvvtttt111100000000 Make xwsh run as a vt100 terminal emulator. Normally, xwsh
emulates the "iris-ansi" terminal, which is almost a vt100. This
switch makes a few minor changes to the emulation for a majority
of vt100 compatibility. Most everything is supported, with the
exception of double width and double height characters. The -fn,
-boldfont, -italicfont and -bolditalicfont options (and
resources) are ignored when -vt100 mode is enabled. To change
the particular font use the ddddeeeeccccAAAAsssscccciiiiiiiiFFFFoooonnnntttt and ddddeeeeccccGGGGrrrraaaapppphhhhiiiiccccssssFFFFoooonnnntttt
resources (see -xrm, below).
When in alternate key pad mode (ESC =), the special function keys
F9-F12 on the IRIS keyboard emulate the keys PF1-PF4 on a VT100
keyboard. (ESC P, ESC Q, ESC R, ESC S).
----xxxxrrrrmmmm _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e-_s_t_r_i_n_g
Define a resource value in the command line. See the resource
section below for a list of xwsh's available resources.
When you log on to a remote system, use vt100 if no iris-ansi entry
exists in the terminfo or termcap file. You probably need to set the
_x_w_s_h terminal size to 80,24 and run xwsh with the -vt100 option for this
to work properly.
When you use _v_i, _e_m_a_c_s, or other visual-mode programs remotely, you must
size the terminal window to match the terminal size referenced by the
current $TERM environment variable. Some systems (including IRIX)
support the ability to query the terminal size, and if this is the case,
xwsh should work correctly regardless of its size.
When in alternate key pad mode (ESC =), the special function keys F9-F12
on the IRIS keyboard emulate the keys PF1-PF4 on a VT100 keyboard. (ESC
P, ESC Q, ESC R, ESC S).
KKKKEEEEYYYY BBBBIIIINNNNDDDDIIIINNNNGGGG
_x_w_s_h supports limited key binding through the _b_i_n_d_k_e_y(1) command. See
the _b_i_n_d_k_e_y man page for details.
KKKKEEEEYYYY MMMMAAAAPPPPPPPPIIIINNNNGGGG
To provide for highly customized keyboard xwsh supports key mapping. Key
mapping provides a two tier mapping system. At the bottom level is the
keysym rebinding supported by Xlib (see _X_R_e_b_i_n_d_K_e_y_s_y_m(3X) for details).
The top level bindings are independent of the Xlib bindings, but take
precedence over them. The keyboard input translation first checks the
input keysym (as returned by _X_L_o_o_k_u_p_S_t_r_i_n_g(3X)) against the top level
bindings. If a binding for the keysym exists and the modifiers match or
are ignored (by using the aaaannnnyyyy modifier) then the top level binding is
used. The top level binding will either generate a string whose output
is sent to the underlying shell or the binding will invoke a function
internal to xwsh. If no top level binding exists then the string
PPPPaaaaggggeeee 6666
XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG)))) XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG))))
returned from _X_L_o_o_k_u_p_S_t_r_i_n_g(3X) is used.
When the keyboard is in IBM rt mode three modifications to the above
process are done. First, at start up the keyboard is rebound using
_X_R_e_b_i_n_d_K_e_y_s_y_m to closely match the IBM rt definitions (this is what
previous IRIX releases used). Second, when a key press occurs the
modifier state is prioritized such that no chording of modifiers is
allowed (Alt is highest priority, Control is next, Shift is lowest).
Finally, if the decoded keysym has no top level binding and its the PPPPaaaauuuusssseeee
key and the user has pressed the CCCCoooonnnnttttrrrroooollll modifier then a break function
is performed on the tty.
Here is the syntax for the key mappings:
_k_e_y_s_y_m(_m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s): sssseeeennnndddd(_s_t_r_i_n_g);
_k_e_y_s_y_m(_m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s): ffffuuuunnnncccc(_s_t_r_i_n_g);
_k_e_y_s_y_m(_m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s): rrrreeeebbbbiiiinnnndddd(_s_t_r_i_n_g);
_k_e_y_s_y_m(_m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s): uuuunnnnbbbbiiiinnnndddd();
_k_e_y_s_y_m is a standard keysym as defined by X. _m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s can be one or
more of the standard modifiers (SSSShhhhiiiifffftttt, CCCCoooonnnnttttrrrroooollll, AAAAlllltttt) or aaaannnnyyyy. If any is
used then the modifier state is unimportant during input checking.
_s_t_r_i_n_g can contain C style backslash sequences, such as \n, in order to
embed control characters.
If the target for the mapping is sssseeeennnndddd then the given _s_t_r_i_n_g will be sent
when the key (with its modifiers) is pressed. This mapping applies to
the top level bindings.
If the target for the mapping is ffffuuuunnnncccc then the given _s_t_r_i_n_g will be used
to apply an internal function to xwsh. The following internal functions
are currently supported: send, up-line, down-line, up-page, down-page,
home, end, push, pop and toggle-redirect.
If the target for the mapping is rrrreeeebbbbiiiinnnndddd then the given _s_t_r_i_n_g will be
sent when the key (with its modifiers) is pressed. This mapping applies
to the bottom level bindings and just invokes an XXXXRRRReeeebbbbiiiinnnnddddKKKKeeeeyyyyssssyyyymmmm when the
key mapping is applied.
If the target for the mapping is uuuunnnnbbbbiiiinnnndddd then when the key map is applied
any top level binding for the key (with its modifiers) is removed. Using
send and unbind one can setup bindings that are temporarily ``pushed''
and ``popped''.
Key mappings are specified in one of two ways. A command like option
exists which defines a key map file whose contents are lines in the
format described above. Resources also exist to define particular key
maps. See the section on string resources for more information. A quick
examination of ////uuuussssrrrr////lllliiiibbbb////XXXX11111111////aaaapppppppp----ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttssss////XXXXWWWWsssshhhh may also help.

MENU OPERATION
xwsh has a popup menu which will be activated when the right pointer
button is pressed over the text area. PPPPoooopppp is used to raise the window to
the top of the window hierarchy, subject to any window manager
constraints. SSSSeeeennnndddd is used to send the primary selection (XA_PRIMARY in
ICCC terms) to the tty as if the user had typed it in. SSSSiiiizzzzeeee is a roll
off menu item that allows the user to resize the xwsh window to specific
commonly used sizes. Note that resizing a window is subject to window
manager constraints. The FFFFoooonnnntttt menu item will bring up a font browser
dialog (see below on how to use it). Finally, CCCClllloooonnnneeee is a roll off menu
item that is used to make a visually identical (within certain limits)
copy of the xwsh. The copy will have a new command, new tty, etc. It
will attempt to have the same font, same colors and other attributes.
FFFFOOOONNNNTTTT BBBBRRRROOOOWWWWSSSSEEEERRRR
The font browser is used to pick a new font for use as xwsh's primary
rendition font (there is currently no way to pick other rendition fonts).
The font browser displays three scrolling lists: the _f_o_n_t list, the _s_t_y_l_e
list and the _s_i_z_e list. The _f_o_n_t list lists in alphabetical order the
various fonts. A names shown are composed of the foundry, family,
registry and encoding (fonts that are iso8859-1 do not show the registry
and encoding). For example, _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_l (_b_i_t_s_t_r_e_a_m) is an iso8859-1 font
from _b_i_t_s_t_r_e_a_m whose family is _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_l. Also, _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_l (_b_i_t_s_t_r_e_a_m, _d_e_c,
_d_e_c_t_e_c_h) is another _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_l font from _b_i_t_s_t_r_e_a_m, but it is not an
iso8859-1 font, rather it is of the Idec _r_e_g_i_s_t_r_y _a_n_d _d_e_c_t_e_c_h _e_n_c_o_d_i_n_g.
The _s_t_y_l_e list shows names (alphabetically sorted) which are composed of
the weight, slant, slant width, and adstyle. The _s_i_z_e list shows the
available sizes for the given fonts (numerically sorted).
Any time a selection is made in one or more of the lists, items which are
not possible given the choices made are grayed out. Selections are made
by clicking on a particular item in the list. Selections can be unmade
by clicking on a selected item again. For instance, not all fonts have
15 pixel sizes. In this case when a font is chosen that has no 15 pixel
size, the 15 entry in the size list will be grayed out. The same kind of
constraints are applied to the style and font list.
There are two control buttons that determine which fonts are shown and
how they are presented. The SSSShhhhoooowwww pppprrrrooooppppoooorrrrttttiiiioooonnnnaaaallll wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh ffffoooonnnnttttssss button when
enabled will add in proportional width fonts to the font, style and size
lists. By default this is disabled, because proportional width fonts are
often confusing to the user (see the discussion above, where -fn is
described). The SSSShhhhoooowwww ssssiiiizzzzeeee iiiinnnn ppppooooiiiinnnnttttssss button when enabled changes the
units in the size list from pixels to points. The values used for the
points to pixel scaling are computed by using information provided by the
display that xwsh is connected to.
After all three lists have an item selected, the font browser will
display a sample from the font below the SSSShhhhoooowwww ssssiiiizzzzeeee iiiinnnn ppppooooiiiinnnnttttssss button as
well as the full X name of the font in the name field editor. Using this
sample the user can preview the font choice, and if it is not desirable,
PPPPaaaaggggeeee 8888
XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG)))) XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG))))
keep browsing other fonts. Once a choice has been made the user can
accept it by pressing the _A_c_c_e_p_t button which changes the primary
rendition font of xwsh and dismisses the font browser. Pressing the
_A_p_p_l_y button changes the font but leaves the browser up in case another
change is desired. The _C_a_n_c_e_l button dismisses the browser with no
further font changes (it will not undo a _A_p_p_l_y).

xwsh optionally supports highlighting URLs that it detects in the stream
of output text. Having URLs highlighted makes them much easier to notice
when reading through lots of text. This feature is particularly useful
when coupled with the ability to pass URLs directly to a web browser
(more on this below). The disadvantage to this feature is that there is
a slight performance penalty in detecting the URLs and thus text will
print slower. Generally this is not noticeable. Also, the code that
detects URLs can be fooled under some (rare) circumstances. For more
information on passing URLs directly from xwsh to a Web browser, see the
section on Selections (below).
You can enable this behavior with the -highlightURL command line switch
or the boolean highlightURL X resource. By default this option is off.
SSSSEEEELLLLEEEECCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
xwsh supports manipulation of the primary selection (XA_PRIMARY in ICCC).
The left pointer button is the select button. The middle pointer button
is a shortcut for the _S_e_n_d menu entry (this can be disabled with the
-nosend command line option or the noQuickSend resource). Pressing left
pointer will begin a new selection. As the pointer is moved the
selection will be swept out. Finally, when the left pointer is released
a selection is made. If the area swept out is not empty then xwsh will
assert ownership of the primary selection. If xwsh cannot get ownership
of the primary selection then the selection will immediately disappear
from the display.
By rapidly clicking the left pointer button twice (down, up, down) the
user will enter double click mode. In double click mode moving the
pointer will select _w_o_r_d_s. What constitutes a word is determined by the
charClass resource. By rapidly clicking the left pointer button three
times (down, up, down, up, down) the user will enter triple click mode.
In triple click mode entire lines are selected as the pointer is moved.
Holding down the Control key while pressing the left mouse button will
select URLs. That is, if the mouse is over a piece of text that is a
URL, it is automatically selected. Releasing the mouse button while the
control key is depressed runs an external program on the currently
selected text. You can specify the program to be run through X resources
(see below). The default program that runs will start a web browser with
the selected URL.
Selections can be extended by shift-clicking the left pointer button. If
a shift-click occurs above the current selection then the selection will
be extended up to the new position. If a shift-click occurs below the
PPPPaaaaggggeeee 9999
XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG)))) XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG))))
current selection then the selection will be extended down to the new
position. If a shift-click occurs inside the selection then the top of
the selection remains fixed while the bottom is moved up to the new
position. Note that selections can be extended in single, double or
triple click mode.
If during the process of making a selection the pointer moves vertically
out of the text area then the text area will be automatically scrolled to
allow selections that are larger than the visible area.
Through X resources you can also use the Modifier keys (Control, Alt, and
Shift) to modify behavior of left mouse-button events. You can apply any
combination of Control, Alt, and Shift to the three actions of the left
mouse button (button down, drag with button down, and button up).
(However, specifying an action associated with the Alt and left-mouse
might interfere with a default 4Dwm binding.) The action taken when a
given key and mouse combination event occurs is specified in a way
similar to keysym functions.
The first mapping, selectDownMap, is the action taken when the left mouse
button is pressed down. The next mapping, selectDragMap, is the action
taken when the mouse is dragged (with the left button still depressed).
The final mapping, selectUpMap, is the action taken when the left mouse
button is released.
The actions available are:
BeginSelect - begin selecting a region of text
BeginExtendSelect - extend the current selection
NormalDragSelect - drag select a region of text
DoNothing - empty place holder operation
SelectURL - select an entire URL
DoFilter1 - execute filter command 1 on selection
DoFilter2 - execute filter command 2 on selection
DoFilter3 - execute filter command 3 on selection
You specify the commands executed by the 3 DoFilter actions with X
resources. The resource names are filterCmd1, filterCmd2, and filterCmd3.
The strings values of these resources are taken as a command line and
executed. If there is a "%s" (no quotes) in the string, it is replaced
with the currently selected text.
The default values for the three filter commands are:
XWsh*FilterCmd1: nr %s
XWsh*FilterCmd2: jot %s
XWsh*FilterCmd3: echo %s
It is important to note that these commands are run in the environment
that xwsh is run in by xdm. This is not the same as the environment of
the command that runs inside of the xwsh and thus environment variables
set in your shell may not be set for the filter program.
PPPPaaaaggggeeee 11110000
XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG)))) XXXXWWWWSSSSHHHH((((1111GGGG))))
The default mapping of key and mouse clicks is as follows (taken from the
X resource file):
XWsh*selectDownMap: \
Control: func("SelectURL"); \
Shift: func("BeginExtendSelect");
XWsh*selectDragMap: \
Control: func("DoNothing"); \
Shift: func("NormalDragSelect");
XWsh*selectUpMap: \
Control: func("DoFilter1");
The mappings need not be single key modifiers, you can also specify
modifiers such as Control+Shift or Alt+Control. There can only be a
single function per key modifier however.
Note that you can select text without pressing any modifier keys, then
depress a modifier key before releasing the mouse button. Then (assuming
the modifier is still pressed) when you release the mouse button, the
selectUpMap for that modifier key will be executed.
SSSSCCCCRRRROOOOLLLLLLLL BBBBAAAARRRR OOOOPPPPEEEERRRRAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
The scroll bar is composed of four components. An up arrow, a down
arrow, a thumb and a divot. The up arrow scrolls the text display down
one line while the down arrow scrolls the text display up one line.
Dragging the thumb up will scroll the display down while dragging the
thumb down will scroll the display up. Most manipulation of the scroll
bar is done using the left pointer button. The divot is not manipulated
by the user but is used to show where the thumb was before scrolling
began (only when dragging the thumb).
By clicking the left pointer button above or below the thumb, the thumb
will begin scrolling in page sized increments until it reaches either of
the end points. By clicking the middle pointer button above, below, or
on the thumb the thumb will be moved to the location of the pointer (i.e.
a "goto" operation). The thumb will continue to track the pointer
location until the middle pointer button is released.
If the display is locked (via the Lock display escape sequence, see xwsh
set mode) or if there is insufficient data to scroll then the scroll bar
will be disabled (no thumb will show and the arrows will be grayed out).

_x_w_s_h emulates a terminal that supports a subset of ANSI X3.64-1979 (an
"ansi" terminal). xwsh also has features appropriate to a windowing
application. Escape sequences are special characters interpreted by the
terminal (or terminal emulator; i.e. xwsh) to perform functions beyond
simply placing a character on the display. The information that follows
describes all the escape sequences that xwsh understands. A standard set
of conventions are used to describe each escape sequence. For example:

CCCCSSSSIIII PPPPvvvv mmmm
describes a sequence that begins with CSI ("control sequence introducer")
followed by zero or more semicolon separated numbers followed by the
character "m". ESC ("escape") expands to "\033". CSI expands to either
"ESC [" (escape left-bracket) or to "\233". DCS ("device control
string") expands to either "ESC P" (escape capital-P) or to "\220". ST
("string terminator") expands to either "ESC \\" (escape backslash) or to
"\234".

is a milder form of the holding resource.
ffffiiiixxxxeeeeddddSSSSiiiizzzzeeee [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss FFFFiiiixxxxeeeeddddSSSSiiiizzzzeeee]]]]
When set xwsh behaves as a fixed size terminal. Its initial maximum
size determines the tty emulation area managed. When the window
changes size the underlying tty emulation area is not affected.
hhhhiiiigggghhhhlllliiiigggghhhhttttUUUURRRRLLLL [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss HHHHiiiigggghhhhlllliiiigggghhhhttttUUUURRRRLLLL]]]]
This boolean controls whether xwsh will highlight URLs that it
detects in the input stream. If set to True, then if a URL is
detected in the output stream, it is highlighted in Bold Italic. By
default this resource is set to False.
hhhhoooollllddddiiiinnnngggg [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss HHHHoooollllddddiiiinnnngggg]]]]
This boolean controls what xwsh does when the child program exits.
When set xwsh maintains its window until removed by the window
manager. When reset, xwsh exits when its child exits.
iiiinnnnvvvveeeerrrrttttYYYY [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss IIIInnnnvvvveeeerrrrttttYYYY]]]]
When set xwsh will y invert the geometry origin coordinates. This
is a compatibility resource for the obsolete wsh(1g) command only.

When set this flag tells xwsh to jump to the bottom of the scroll
display upon any data generating key stroke. When false, xwsh only
jumps when a data scroll occurs (i.e., a newline or equivalent is
output).

This boolean determines the order in which the key map file is
applied to the keyboard state. The default value of false means
that the users key map file is applied before any resources. A
value of TRUE means that the users key map file is applied after any
resources.

middle pointer is clicked.
oooovvvveeeerrrrFFFFiiiirrrrsssstttt [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss OOOOvvvveeeerrrrFFFFiiiirrrrsssstttt]]]]
This determines what menu item is under the pointer when the menu
button is pressed. The default value is false and means that
pointer will be over the title. When true the pointer will be over
the first item in the menu.
oooovvvveeeerrrrrrrriiiiddddeeeeRRRReeeeddddiiiirrrreeeecccctttt [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss OOOOvvvveeeerrrrrrrriiiiddddeeeeRRRReeeeddddiiiirrrreeeecccctttt]]]]

xwsh will display a scroll bar. When disabled xwsh will not display
a scroll bar.
vvvviiiissssuuuuaaaallllBBBBeeeellllllll [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss VVVViiiissssuuuuaaaallllBBBBeeeellllllll]]]]
This flag when set tells xwsh to flash the display in an irritating
manner instead of ringing the annoying bell.
vvvvtttt111100000000 [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss VVVVtttt111100000000]]]]
If set then xwsh behaves very much like a vt100.
vvvvtttt111100000000WWWWrrrraaaapppp [[[[ccccllllaaaassssssss VVVVtttt111100000000WWWWrrrraaaapppp]]]]
When set this flag tells xwsh to perform right margin wrapping like
it does when in vt100 mode. The TERM variable will also be set to
iris-ansi-nowrap to facilitate correct editing.
