    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>GNOME Terminal is a terminal emulation application that you can
      use to perform the following actions:</para>

    <para>Access a UNIX shell in the GNOME environment.</para>
    <para>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.</para>

    <para>Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220,
      and xterm terminals.</para>

    <para>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.</para>

    <para>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.</para>
