It provides DEC VT102-compatible terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), \fIrxi\fP uses the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized. .SH OPTIONS The \fIrxi\fP terminal emulator accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the additional options listed below (if the option begins with a .RB ` + ' instead of a .RB ` \- ', the option is restored to its default value): .TP 8 .B \-help This causes \fIrxi\fP to print out a verbose message describing its options. .TP 8 .B \-132 Normally, the VT102 DECCOLM escape sequence that switches between 80 and 132 column mode is ignored. This option causes the DECCOLM escape sequence to be recognized, and the .I rxi window resizes appropriately. .TP 8 .B \-ah This option indicates that .I rxi should always highlight the text cursor and borders. By default, .I rxi displays a hollow text cursor whenever the focus is lost or the mouse cursor leaves the window. .TP 8 .B \+ah This option indicates that .I rxi should do text cursor highlighting. .TP 8 .B \-ar This option causes .I rxi windows to "auto-raise" (move themselves to the top of the window stack) if the mouse cursor stays within the window for more than autoRaiseDelay milliseconds without leaving. The default delay is 2.0 seconds. The +ar option turns this feature off if a system or user has it on by default. The normal default for this option is "off". .TP 8 .BI \-b " number" This option specifies the size of the inner border (the distance between the outer edge of the characters and the window border) in pixels. The default is 2. .TP 8 .BI \-cb This option causes cuts to always start on the beginning of a line. The default is "false" which means that cuts start wherever the mouse cursor is when mouse button 1 is clicked. .TP 8 .BI \+cb This option turns off the -cb option and causes cuts to begin wherever the mouse cursor indicates. .TP 8 .B "\-cc \fIcharacterclassrange\fP:\fIvalue\fP[,...]" This sets classes indicated by the given ranges for using in selecting by words. See the section specifying character classes. .TP 8 .BI \-cr " color" This option specifies the color to use for the text cursor. The default is to use the same foreground color that is used for text. .TP 8 .B \-cu This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should work around a bug in the .IR curses (3x) cursor motion package that causes the .IR more (1) program to display lines that are exactly the width of the window and are followed by a line beginning with a tab to be displayed incorrectly (the leading tabs are not displayed). .TP 8 .B \+cu This option indicates that that \fIrxi\fP should not work around the .IR curses (3x) bug mentioned above. .TP 8 .BI \-e " program \[arguments \.\.\.\]" This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the \fIrxi\fP window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither \fI-title\fP nor \fI-name\fP are given on the command line. \fBThis must be the last option on the command line.\fP .TP 8 .BI \-fb " font" This option specifies a font to be used when displaying bold text. This font must be the same height and width as the normal font. The default bold font is ``fixed-screen-b-11.'' If the default font cannot be found or if only one of the normal or bold fonts has been specified (on the command line, in the user's default file, or in the system's default file), then it is used as both the normal font and the bold font. .TP 8 .B \-fn \fIfont\fP This option specifies the font to be used for displaying normal text. The default is ``fixed-screen-r-11.'' .TP 8 .B \-icongeometry geometry This option specifies the preferred position of the icon window. It is shorthand for specifying the "\fI*iconGeometry\fP" resource. .TP 8 .BI \-icontitle " string" This option specifies the icon name for \fIrxi\fP's windows. It is shorthand for specifying the "\fI*iconName\fP" resource. Note that this is not the same as the toolkit option \fB-name\fP (see below). The default icon name is the application name. .TP 8 .B \-j This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should do jump scrolling. Normally, text is scrolled one line at a time; this option allows \fIrxi\fP to move multiple lines at a time so that it doesn't fall as far behind. Its use is strongly recommended since it make \fIrxi\fP much faster when scanning through large amounts of text. The VT100 escape sequences for enabling and disabling smooth scroll as well as the ``Modes'' menu can be used to turn this feature on or off. .TP 8 .B \+j This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should not do jump scrolling. .TP 8 .B \-l This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should send all terminal output to a log file as well as to the screen. This option can be enabled or disabled using the ``RXI X11'' menu. .TP 8 .B \+l This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should not do logging. .TP 8 .BI \-lf " filename" This option specifies the name of the file to which the output log described above is written. If \fIfile\fP begins with a pipe symbol (|), the rest of the string is assumed to be a command to be used as the endpoint of a pipe. The default filename is ``\fBRxiLog.\fIXXXXX\fR'' (where \fIXXXXX\fP is the process id of \fIrxi\fP) and is created in the directory from which \fIrxi\fP was started (or the user's home directory in the case of a login window). .TP 8 .B \-ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the \fIrxi\fP window be a login shell (i.e., the first character of argv[0] is a dash, indicating to the shell that it should read the user's .login or .profile). .TP 8 .B \+ls This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login shell (i.e., it is a normal ``subshell''). .TP 8 .B \-mb This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should ring a margin bell when the user types near the right end of a line. This option can be turned on and off from the ``Modes'' menu. .TP 8 .B \+mb This option indicates that margin bell should not be rung. .TP 8 .BI \-ms " color" This option specifies the color to be used for the mouse cursor. The default is to use the foreground color. .TP 8 .BI \-nb " number" This option specifies the number of characters from the right end of a line at which the margin bell, if enabled, rings. The default is 10. .TP 8 .BI \-rcg "number/name" This option modifies the response sent when a terminal-recognition query is received. A normal VT100 (with advanced-video-option) response is Escape followed by "[?1;2c". -rcg modifies this. The "2" is replaced by the value (number<<3)+2. This allows rxi to be recognized both as a VT100 and as a special Rational terminal type. The default -rcg value is determined by the expected workstation type when rxi is compiled and is in the 1..99 range. Use "-rcg 0" to disable this feature and to cause normal VT100 behavior. If a name is used for this switch, e.g., "-rcg xsun3", then the name must be the (all lowercase) name of some RXI-based terminal type supported by the local R1000 computer. The recognition value being used can be modified via the ``RXI Recognition'' menu. .TP 8 .B \-rv This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the foreground and background colors. .TP 8 .B \+rv This option indicates that normal video should be used. .TP 8 .B \-rw This option indicates that reverse-wraparound should be allowed. This allows the cursor to back up from the leftmost column of one line to the rightmost column of the previous line. This is very useful for editing long shell command lines and is encouraged. This option can be turned on and off from the ``Modes'' menu. .TP 8 .B \+rw This option indicates that reverse-wraparound should not be allowed. .TP 8 .B \-s This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP may scroll asynchronously, meaning that the screen does not have to be kept completely up to date while scrolling. This allows \fIrxi\fP to run faster when network latencies are very high and is typically useful when running across a very large internet or many gateways. .TP 8 .B \+s This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should scroll synchronously. .TP 8 .B \-sb This option indicates that some number of lines that are scrolled off the top of the window should be saved and that a scrollbar should be displayed so that those lines can be viewed. This option may be turned on and off from the ``Modes'' menu. .TP 8 .B \+sb This option indicates that a scrollbar should not be displayed. .TP 8 .B \-sf This option indicates that Sun function-key escape codes should be generated for function keys. .TP 8 .B \+sf This option indicates that the standard escape codes should be generated for function keys. .TP 8 .B \-si This option indicates that output to a window should not automatically reposition the screen to the bottom of the scrolling region. This option can be turned on and off from the ``Modes'' menu. .TP 8 .B \+si This option indicates that output to a window should cause it to scroll to the bottom. .TP 8 .B \-sk This option indicates that pressing a key while using the scrollbar to review previous lines of text should cause the window to be repositioned automatically in the normal postion at the bottom of the scroll region. .TP 8 .B \+sk This option indicates that pressing a key while using the scrollbar should not cause the window to be repositioned. .TP 8 .BI \-sl " number" This option specifies the number of lines to save that have been scrolled off the top of the screen. The default is 64. .TP 8 .BI \-tm " string" This option specifies a series of terminal setting keywords followed by the characters that should be bound to those functions, similar to the \fIstty\fP program. This is ignored when \fB\-L\fP is given since \fIgetty\fP resets the terminal. Allowable keywords include: intr, quit, erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch, start, stop, brk, susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and lnext. Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g. ^c or ^u) and ^? may be used to indicate delete. .TP 8 .BI \-tn " name" This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the TERM environment variable. This terminal type must exist in the \fItermcap(5)\fP database and should have \fIli#\fP and \fIco#\fP entries. .TP 8 .B \-ut This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP shouldn't write a record into the the system log file \fI/etc/utmp\fP. .TP 8 .B \+ut This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should write a record into the system log file \fI/etc/utmp\fP. .TP 8 .B \-vb This option indicates that a visual bell is preferred over an audible one. Instead of ringing the terminal bell whenever a Control-G is received, the window flashes. .TP 8 .B \+vb This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used. .TP8 .B \-version This option causes \fIrxi\fP to display version information on stdout and then to exit. There are three sections of information. The "Version" section tells you what Rational version/terminal-type was installed. The "Server" section tells you what X server and what version of the protocol is being used. The "Resources" section gives you the values set for some of the more important control resources. .TP8 .BI \-x11r2 This option tells \fIrxi\fP that the server (-display option) is an X11R2 server. The +x11r3 option does the same thing. The +x11r2 and -x11r3 options tell \firxi\fP that the server is X11R3. X11R2 servers did not draw text correctly. These options allow you to modify \fIrxi's\fP behavior to suit the server being used. .TP 8 .B \-C This option indicates that this window should receive console output. This is not supported on all systems. .TP 8 .B \-S\fIccn\fP This option specifies the last two letters of the name of a pseudoterminal to use in slave mode. This allows \fIrxi\fP to be used as an input and output channel for an existing program and is sometimes used in specialized applications. .PP The following command line arguments are provided for compatibility with older versions. They may not be supported in the next release as the X Toolkit provides standard options that accomplish the same task. .TP 8 .B \-L This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP was started by \fIinit\fP. In this mode, \fIrxi\fP does not try to allocate a new pseudoterminal as \fIinit\fP has already done so. In addition, the system program \fIgetty\fP is run instead of the user's shell. \fBThis option has been superceeded by the new \fIxdm\fP program; furthermore, this option should never be used by users when starting terminal windows.\fP .PP The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used with \fIrxi\fP: .TP 8 .B \-bg \fIcolor\fP This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window. The default is ``white.'' .TP 8 .B \-bd \fIcolor\fP This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window. The default is ``black.'' .TP 8 .B \-bw \fInumber\fP This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window. .TP 8 .B \-display \fIdisplay\fP This option specifies the X server to contact; see \fIX(1)\fP. .TP 8 .B \-fg \fIcolor\fP This option specifies the color to use for displaying text. The default is ``black''. .TP 8 .B \-geometry \fIgeometry\fP This option specifies the preferred size and position of the VT102 window; see \fIX(1)\fP. .TP 8 .B \-iconic This option indicates that \fIrxi\fP should ask the window manager to start it as an icon rather than as the normal window. .TP 8 .B \-name \fIname\fP This option specifies the application name under which resources are to be obtained, rather than the default executable filename. \fIName\fP should not contain ``.'' or ``*'' characters. The Class name for the program is ``RXI''. .TP 8 .B \-title \fIstring\fP This option specifies the window title string, which may be displayed by window managers if the user so chooses. The default title is the command line specified after the \fB-e\fP option, if any, otherwise the application name. .TP 8 .B \-xrm \fIresourcestring\fP This option specifies a resource string to be used. This is especially useful for setting resources that do not have separate command line options. .SH "X DEFAULTS" The program understands all of the core X Toolkit resource names and classes as well as: .TP 8 .B "autoRaise (\fPclass\fB AutoRaise)" Specifies whether the auto-raise window feature is turned on. The default is "off". See the -ar switch. .B "autoRaiseDelay (\fPclass\fB AutoRaiseDelay)" Specifies the delay between the mouse entering the window and the raising of the \fIrxi\fP window to the top when the autoRaise feature is turned on. The default value is 2000 milliseconds. .TP 8 .B "iconGeometry (\fPclass\fB IconGeometry)" Specifies the preferred size and position of the application when iconified. It is not necessarily obeyed by all window managers. .TP 8 .B "termName (\fPclass\fB TermName)" Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the TERM environment variable. .TP 8 .B "title (\fPclass\fB Title)" Specifies a string that may be used by the window manager when displaying this application. .TP 8 .B "ttyModes (\fPclass\fB TtyModes)" Specifies a string containing terminal setting keywords and the characters to which they may be bound. This option is ignored when \fB\-L\fP is given since \fIgetty\fP resets the terminal. Allowable keywords include: intr, quit, erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch, start, stop, brk, susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and lnext. Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g. ^c or ^u) and ^? may be used to indicate delete. This is very useful for overriding the default terminal settings without having to do an \fIstty\fP every time an \fIrxi\fP is started. .TP 8 .B "utmpInhibit (\fPclass\fB UtmpInhibit)" Specifies whether or not \fIrxi\fP should try to record the user's terminal in \fI/etc/utmp\fP. .TP 8 .B "sunFunctionKeys (\fPclass\fB SunFunctionKeys)" Specifies whether or not Sun function-key escape codes should be generated for function keys instead of standard escape sequences. .sp .PP The following resources are specified as part of the ``vt100'' widget (class ``VT100''): .TP 8 .B "allowSendEvents (\fPclass\fB AllowSendEvents)" Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button events (generated using the X protocol SendEvent request) should be interpreted or discarded. The default is ``false'', meaning they are discarded. Note that allowing such events creates a very large security hole. .sp .TP 8 .B "alwaysHighlight (\fPclass\fB AlwaysHighlight)" Specifies whether or not \fIrxi\fP should always display a highlighted text cursor. By default, a hollow text cursor is displayed whenever the mouse cursor moves out of the window or the window loses the input focus. .TP 8 .B "font (\fPclass\fB Font)" Specifies the name of the normal font. The default is ``fixed-screen-r-11.'' .TP 8 .B "boldFont (\fPclass\fB Font)" Specifies the name of the bold font. The default is ``fixed-screen-b-11.'' .TP 8 .B "c132 (\fPclass\fB C132)" Specifies whether or not the VT102 DECCOLM escape sequence should be honored. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "charClass (\fPclass\fB CharClass)" Specifies comma-separated lists of character class bindings of the form \[\fIlow\fP-\]\fIhigh\fP:\fIvalue\fP. These are used in determining which sets of characters should be treated the same when doing cut-and-paste. See the section on specifying character classes. .TP 8 .B "curses (\fPclass\fB Curses)" Specifies whether or not the last column bug in .IR curses (3x) should be worked around. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "background (\fPclass\fB Background)" Specifies the color to use for the background of the window. The default is ``white.'' .TP 8 .B "foreground (\fPclass\fB Foreground)" Specifies the color to use for displaying text in the window. Setting the class name instead of the instance name is an easy way to have everything that would normally appear in the "text" color change color. The default is ``black.'' .TP 8 .B "cursorColor (\fPclass\fB Foreground)" Specifies the color to use for the text cursor. The default is ``black.'' .TP 8 .B "geometry (\fPclass\fB Geometry)" Specifies the preferred size and position of the VT102 window. .TP 8 .B "internalBorder (\fPclass\fB BorderWidth)" Specifies the number of pixels between the characters and the window border. The default is 2. .TP 8 .B "jumpScroll (\fPclass\fB JumpScroll)" Specifies whether or not jump scroll should be used. The default is ``false''. .TP 8 .B "logFile (\fPclass\fB Logfile)" Specifies the name of the file to which a terminal session is logged. The default is ``\fBRxiLog.\fIXXXXX\fR'' (where \fIXXXXX\fP is the process id of \fIrxi\fP). .TP 8 .B "logging (\fPclass\fB Logging)" Specifies whether or not a terminal session should be logged. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "logInhibit (\fPclass\fB LogInhibit)" Specifies whether or not terminal session logging should be inhibited. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "loginShell (\fPclass\fB LoginShell)" Specifies whether or not the shell to be run in the window should be started as a login shell. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "marginBell (\fPclass\fB MarginBell)" Specifies whether or not the bell should be run when the user types near the right margin. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "multiClickTime (\fPclass\fB MultiClickTime)" Specifies the maximum amount of time to wait for a double-click on a mouse. The interval is in milliseconds. The default is 250. Pauses of longer than 250 milliseconds between clicks of the same mouse button registers as two separate clicks rather than as one double-click. .TP 8 .B "multiScroll (\fPclass\fB MultiScroll)" Specifies whether or not asynchronous scrolling is allowed. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "nMarginBell (\fPclass\fB Column)" Specifies the number of characters from the right margin at which the margin bell should be run, when enabled. .TP 8 .B "pointerColor (\fPclass\fB Foreground)" Specifies the color of the mouse cursor. The default is ``black.'' .TP 8 .B "pointerShape (\fPclass\fB Cursor)" Specifies the name of the shape of the mouse cursor. The default is ``xterm.'' .TP 8 .B "reverseVideo (\fPclass\fB ReverseVideo)" Specifies whether or not reverse video should be simulated. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "reverseWrap (\fPclass\fB ReverseWrap)" Specifies whether or not reverse-wraparound should be enabled. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "saveLines (\fPclass\fB SaveLines)" Specifies the number of lines to save beyond the top of the screen when a scrollbar is turned on. The default is 64. .TP 8 .B "scrollBar (\fPclass\fB ScrollBar)" Specifies whether or not the scrollbar should be displayed. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "scrollInput (\fPclass\fB ScrollCond)" Specifies whether or not output to the terminal should automatically cause the scrollbar to go to the bottom of the scrolling region. The default is ``true.'' .TP 8 .B "scrollKey (\fPclass\fB ScrollCond)" Specifies whether or not pressing a key should automatically cause the scrollbar to go to the bottom of the scrolling region. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "signalInhibit (\fPclass\fB SignalInhibit)" Specifies whether or not the entries in the ``RXI X11'' menu for sending signals to \fIrxi\fP should be disallowed. The default is ``false.'' .TP 8 .B "titeInhibit (\fPclass\fB TiteInhibit)" Specifies whether or not \fIrxi\fP should remove remove \fIti\fP or \fIte\fP termcap entries (used to switch between alternate screens on startup of many screen-oriented programs) from the TERMCAP string. .TP 8 .B "translations (\fPclass\fB Translations)" Specifies the key and button bindings for menus, selections, ``programmed strings'', etc. See \fBKEY/BUTTON BINDINGS\fP below. .TP 8 .B "visualBell (\fPclass\fB VisualBell)" Specifies whether or not a visible bell (i.e., flashing) should be used instead of an audible bell when Control-G is received. The default is ``false.'' .sp .PP The following resources are specified as part of the ``menu'' widget: .TP 8 .B "horizDragAmount (\fPclass \fB DragAmount)" In Rational Mode; specifies the number of columns the R1000 image is scrolled horizontally for each horizDragTrigger pixels of horizontal movement by the mouse. e.g., Each time the mouse moves horizDragTrigger pixels to the left, then the R1000 window scrolls horizDragAmount columns to the left. .TP 8 .B "horizDragTrigger (\fPclass \fB DragTrigger)" In Rational Mode; specifies the number of pixels of mouse movement that correspond to one horizDragAmount of horizontal scrolling on the R1000. .TP 8 .B "itemBorder (\fPclass\fB ItemBorder)" Specifies the width of border placed on menu items in the ``Environment'' menu. The default is 0. .TP 8 .B "menuBorder (\fPclass\fB MenuBorder)" Specifies the size in pixels of the border surrounding menus. The default is 2. (All menus.) .TP 8 .B "menuFont (\fPclass\fB Font)" Specifies the name of the font to use for displaying menu items. (All menus.) .TP 8 .B "menuLabels (\fPclass\fB MenuLabels)" Menus are labelled if "true". The default is "true". (All menus.) .TP 8 .B "menuPad (\fPclass\fB MenuPad)" Specifies the number of pixels between menu items and the menu border. The default is 3. .TP 8 .B "menuSpace (\fPclass\fB MenuSpace)" Specifies the number of pixels between menu items. The default is 3. (Rational ``Environment'' menu only.) .TP 8 .B "permanent" (\fPclass\fB Permanent)" The ``Environment'' menu can be set up as a permanent menu with this option. It remains mapped on the display and it is subject to window manager control. The default is "false". .TP 8 .B "subBorder (\fPclass\fB SubBorder)" Specifies the width of border placed on submenu selector ("=>") items in the ``Environment'' menu. The default is 0. .TP 8 .B "subDistance (\fPclass\fB SubBorder)" Specifies the number of pixels placed between submenu labels and submenu selector ("=>") items in the ``Environment'' menu. The default is 3. .TP 8 .B "subSlide (\fPclass\fB SubSlide)" When "true", causes submenu selectors ("=>") in the ``Environment'' menu to "slide" to the right border of the menu; subDistance is ignored in this case. The default is "false". .TP 8 .B "submenuLabels (\fPclass\fB SubmenuLabels)" Submenus are labelled if "true". The default is "true". (``Environment'' menu only.) .TP 8 .B "vertDragAmount (\fPclass \fB DragAmount)" In Rational Mode; specifies the number of columns the R1000 image is scrolled vertically for each vertDragTrigger pixels of vertical movement by the mouse. e.g., Each time the mouse moves vertDragTrigger pixels to the left, then the R1000 window scrolls vertDragAmount columns to the left. .TP 8 .B "vertDragTrigger (\fPclass \fB DragTrigger)" In Rational Mode; specifies the number of pixels of mouse movement that correspond to one vertDragAmount of vertical scrolling on the R1000. .TP 8 .B "vt100Recognition" (\fPclass \fB Vt100Recognition)" Defaults to "false". When "true", forces rxi to act just like a VT100 (actually a VT102). When "false", it allows rxi to perform terminal-recognition in the fashion expected by an R1000 computer. See the discussion on the -rcg switch and the VT100 Recognition menu entry. .TP 8 .B "warp (\fPclass\fB Warp)" When a menu is popped up in response to a button push, then normally the cursor is "warped" so that it appears over the menu. This option prevents that behavior. The menus pop up normally but the cursor is not repositioned. The default is "true". .sp .PP The following resources are specified as part of the ``env'' widget. The env widget corresponds to the ``Environment'' menu. The Environment menu has 10 user-definable slots. Each slot may be empty (the default), may be a user selectable item, may be a non-selectable user submenu, or may be a selectable user submenu. .TP 8 .B "item0..9 (\fPclass\fB Item0..9)" The resources RXI*env.item0..item9 are used to provide labels for selectable user menu items. A selectable item has a "*" when it appears in the menu. When a selectable user item is picked from a menu, it transmits Menu_Pick.'0' if it is item0, Menu_Pick.'1' if item1, etc. When a selectable user submenu is picked from a menu, it transmits Menu_Pick followed by the character specified by the corresponding menu0..9 resource. User submenus placed within the Environment menu also have user item0..9 resources; these are specified by RXI*env.menu0.item0..9. .TP 8 .B "menu0..9 (\fPclass\fB Menu0..9)" The resources RXI*env.menu0..menu9 are used for two purposes. They provide labels for non-selectable user submenus or they provide a KeySym for selectable user submenus. A selectable submenu has a "*" when it appears in its parent menu. When a selectable user submenu is picked from a menu, it transmits Menu_Pick.KeySym; the KeySym to transmit is determined by the value of the RXI*env.menu0..9 resource. User submenus placed within the Environment menu also have user menu0..9 resources; these are specified by RXI*env.menu0.menu0..9. There can be up to 4 levels of user submenus; e.g., RXI*env.menu4.menu6.menu0.menu2.item5. See the app-defaults/RXI file for examples; this file is often in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults but your system may use a different directory structure. .sp .PP The following resources are useful when specified for the Athena Scrollbar widget: .TP 8 .B "thickness (\fPclass\fB Thickness)" Specifies the width in pixels of the scrollbar. .TP 8 .B "background (\fPclass\fB Background)" Specifies the color to use for the background of the scrollbar. .TP 8 .B "foreground (\fPclass\fB Foreground)" Specifies the color to use for the foreground of the scrollbar. The ``thumb'' of the scrollbar is a simple checkerboard pattern alternating pixels for foreground and background color. .SH EMULATIONS The VT102 emulation is fairly complete but does not support the blinking character attribute or the double-wide and double-size character sets. .IR termcap (5) entries that work with .I rxi include ``xterm'', ``vt102'', ``vt100'' and ``ansi'', and .I rxi automatically searches the termcap file in this order for these entries and then sets the ``TERM'' and the ``TERMCAP'' environment variables. .PP Many of the special .I rxi features (like logging) may be modified under program control through a set of escape sequences different from the standard VT102 escape sequences. (See any VT102 manual.) .SH "MOUSE/POINTER USAGE" .PP Once the VT102 window is created, .I rxi allows you to select text and copy it within the same or other windows. .PP The selection functions are invoked when the mouse buttons are used with no modifiers and when they are used with the Shift key. The assignment of the functions described below to keys and buttons may be changed through the resource database; see \fBKEY/BUTTON BINDINGS\fP below. .PP Mouse button 1 (usually left) is used to save text into the cut buffer. Move the cursor to beginning of the text and then hold the button down while moving the cursor to the end of the region and releasing the button. The selected text is highlighted and is saved in the global cut buffer and made the PRIMARY selection when the button is released. Double-clicking selects by words. Triple-clicking selects by lines. Quadruple-clicking goes back to characters, etc. Multiple-click is determined by the time from button up to button down, so you can change the selection unit in the middle of a selection. If the key/button bindings specify that an X selection is to be made, \fIrxi\fP leaves the selected text highlighted for as long as it is the selection owner. .PP Mouse button 2 (usually middle) `types' (pastes) the text from the PRIMARY selection, if any, otherwise from the cut buffer, inserting it as keyboard input. .PP Mouse button 3 (usually right) extends the current selection (without loss of generality, that is you can swap ``right'' and ``left'' everywhere in the rest of this paragraph...). If pressed while closer to the right edge of the selection than the left, it extends/contracts the right edge of the selection. If you contract the selection past the left edge of the selection, .I rxi assumes you really meant the left edge, restores the original selection, then extends/contracts the left edge of the selection. Extension starts in the selection unit mode that the last selection or extension was performed in; you can multiple-click to cycle through them. .PP By cutting and pasting pieces of text without trailing new lines, you can take text from several places in different windows and form a command to the shell, for example, or take output from a program and insert it into your favorite editor. Since the cut buffer is globally shared among different applications, you should regard it as a `file' whose contents you know. The terminal emulator and other text programs should be treating it as if it were a text file, i.e., the text is delimited by new lines. .PP Special note to Rational users: When connected to a Rational computer the cut-and-paste buttons work a little differently than described above. Mouse buttons 1, 2, and 3 transmit the MOUSE_BUTTON1/2/3 key codes to the Rational. When the Shift key is pressed; mouse buttons 1, 2, and 3 transmit the MOUSE_BUTTON4/5/6 key codes to the Rational. Cut-and-paste operations are performed by simultaneously pressing the Control and the Shift keys and then using the mouse buttons as described above. .I Rxi always allows cut-and-paste using Control-Shift-mice and it follows the .I xterm cut-and-paste mouse conventions when in non-Rational mode. .PP The scroll region displays the position and amount of text currently showing in the window (highlighted) relative to the amount of text actually saved. As more text is saved (up to the maximum), the size of the highlighted area decreases. .PP Clicking button 1 with the mouse cursor in the scroll region moves the adjacent line to the top of the display window. .PP Clicking button 3 moves the top line of the display window down to the mouse cursor position. .PP Clicking button 2 moves the display to a position in the saved text that corresponds to the mouse cursor's position in the scrollbar. .SH MENUS .PP .I RXI has four different menus, named .BR RXI .BR X11 , .BR Modes , .BR RXI .BR Recognition , ,and .BR Environment. Each menu pops up under the correct combinations of key and button presses. Most menus are divided into two sections, separated by a horizontal line. The top portion contains various modes that can be altered. A checkmark appears next to a mode that is currently active. Selecting one of these modes toggles its state. The bottom portion of the menu are command entries; selecting one of these performs the indicated function. .PP The .B RXI X11 menu pops up when the Control key and mouse button 1 are pressed in a window. The modes section contains items that apply to the VT102 window. Notable entries in the command section of the menu are the .BR Continue , .BR Suspend , .BR Interrupt , .BR Hangup , .B Terminate and .B Kill which sends the SIGCONT, SIGTSTP, SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals, respectively, to the process group of the process running under .I rxi (usually the shell). The .B Continue function is especially useful if the user has accidentally typed CTRL-Z, suspending the process. .PP The .B Modes menu sets various modes in the VT102 emulation; and is popped up when the Control key and mouse button 2 are pressed in the VT102 window. In the command section of this menu, the soft reset entry resets scroll regions. This can be convenient when some program has left the scroll regions set incorrectly (often a problem when using VMS or TOPS-20). The full reset entry clears the screen, resets tabs to every eight columns, and resets the terminal modes (such as wrap and smooth scroll) to their initial states just after .I rxi has finished processing the command line options. The menu entry ``X11R2 Text Drawing'' is for use when a) .I rxi has been compiled for an X11R2 system but is currently displaying text on an X11R3 server or, b) when .I rxi has been compiled for an X11R3 system but is currently displaying text on an X11R2 server. Release 2 and Release 3 of X Windows are not quite compatible due to a bug in Release 2 pertaining to text. If you are getting "ghost" images of your cursor or if certain letters leave little bits of themselves at the bottom of a scrolled text region, then try toggling the X11R2 Text Drawing switch. This probably corrects the problem. One of the last entries on this menu is one for ``Rational Mode''. This is a special mode used when communicating with Rational computers. Each key on the keyboard transmits a unique three-character (or sometimes four-character) sequence when this mode is in use. Normally the host computer turns this mode on or off. However the menu entry is available both as a flag indicating the current state of the emulation and as a means of toggling the state. A Full reset turns ``Rational Mode'' off. The menu entry ``Permanent Environment Menu'' is RXI/R1000-specific. This entry tells the ``rxi'' program that whenever ``Rational Mode'' is 'on' that the ``Rational Mode'' menu should be mapped and visible on the screen (it is a normal window and it might be obscured by other windows on the screen but the toggling of ``Rational Mode'' either by the user or by the host computer on the other end of a communications channel brings the menu forward). The menu entry ``VT100 Recognition'' is RXI/R1000-specific. This entry tells the ``rxi'' program whether or not to act just like a VT100 when a host program sends a what-are-you query. A normal VT100 responds to such a query with the string "\e[?1;nc" (the 'n' is a digit in the 0..7 range; VT102's respond with 'n'='2' indicating the Advanced Video Option). Rxi normally responds with an 'n' that is determined by the value given to the -rcg switch. For "-rcg 1" rxi responds with 'n' = (rcg*8)+2 = '10' => "\e[?1;10c". (Different host workstations have differing default -rcg values; see the RXI documentation for a list of the values or look at rcg.h in the rxi source area.) When this menu item is "on" then normal VT100 recognition is forced to occur; rxi responds to a what-are-you query with "\e[?1;2c", indicating that it is VT102-compatible. Turning this menu item "off" restores normal rxi operation. Note: If you log into an R1000 when this menu item is "on", you are logged in as a VT100. Type <Escape>.'O'.'n' to get a command window; enter the QUIT command; then type <Escape>.'O'.'M' to execute the QUIT command and to logoff the R1000. .PP The .B RXI Recognition menu pops up when the Control key and mouse button 3 are pressed in a window. The recognition section contains all of the different predefined R1000 terminal types that can be auto-recognized by a fully configured R1000. The item in this menu with a checkmark indicates the current recognition are setting; this is the type of terminal that an R1000 would "recognize" upon login. Note that giving the -rcg switch an "unknown" (to an R1000) value when RXI is started results in none of the items in the menu being checkmarked. .PP The .B Environment menu is available only when in ``Rational'' mode and is popped up when the Control key and mouse button 3 are pressed in the VT102 window. Selection of an entry in this menu is equivalent to a special keystroke using a fake ``key'' called MENU_PICK in the Rational keymap. .SH SECURITY .PP X environments differ in their security consiousness. The servers provided by MIT use a host-based mechanism to control access to the server (see \fIxhost(1)\fP). If you enable access for a host, and other users are also permitted to run clients on that host, there is the possibility that someone runs an application that attempts to use the basic services of the X protocol to snoop on your activities and potentially capture a transcript of everything you type at the keyboard. This is of particular concern when you want to type in a password or other sensitive data. The best solution to this problem is for the industry to choose a standard authorization mechanism, with the necessary operating system support, and to incorporate this into the X protocol (which is already designed to handle such a mechanism). In the meantime, since passwords are most commonly typed to something running in an \fIrxi\fP window, a simple mechanism exists for protecting keyboard input in \fIrxi\fP. .PP The \fBRXI X11\fP menu (see \fBMENUS\fP above) contains a \fBSecure Keyboard\fP entry which, when enabled, ensures that all keyboard input is directed \fIonly\fP to \fIrxi\fP (using the GrabKeyboard protocol request). When an application prompts you for a password (or other sensitive data), you can enable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP using the menu, type in the data, and then disable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP using the menu again. Only one X client at a time can secure the keyboard, so when you attempt to enable \fBSecure Keyboard\fP it may fail. In this case, the bell sounds. If the \fBSecure Keyboard\fP succeeds, the foreground and background colors are exchanged (as if you selected the \fBReverse Video\fP entry in the \fBModes\fP menu); they are exchanged again when you exit secure mode. If the colors do \fInot\fP switch, then you should be \fIvery\fP suspicious that you are being spoofed. If the application you are running displays a prompt before asking for the password, it is safest to enter secure mode \fIbefore\fP the prompt gets displayed, and to make sure that the prompt gets displayed correctly (in the new colors), to minimize the probability of spoofing. You can also bring up the menu again and make sure that a checkmark appears next to the entry. .PP \fBSecure Keyboard\fP mode is disabled automatically if your rxi window becomes iconified (or otherwise unmapped) or if you start up a reparenting window manager (that places a title bar or other decoration around the window) while in \fBSecure Keyboard\fP mode. (This is a feature of the X protocol not easily overcome.) When this happens, the foreground and background colors switch back and the bell sounds in warning. .SH "CHARACTER CLASSES" Clicking the middle mouse button twice in rapid succession causes all characters of the same class (e.g. letters, white space, punctuation) to be selected. Since different people have different preferences for what should be selected (for example, should filenames be selected as a whole or only the separate subnames), the default mapping can be overridden through the use of the \fIcharClass\fP (class \fICharClass\fP) resource. .PP This resource is simply a list of \fIrange\fP:\fIvalue\fP pairs where the range is either a single number or \fIlow\fP-\fIhigh\fP in the range of 0 to 127, corresponding to the ASCII code for the character or characters to be set. The \fIvalue\fP is arbitrary, although the default table uses the character number of the first character occurring in the set. .PP The default table is: .sp .in +10 .nf static int charClass[128] = { /* NUL SOH STX ETX EOT ENQ ACK BEL */ 32, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, /* BS HT NL VT NP CR SO SI */ 1, 32, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, /* DLE DC1 DC2 DC3 DC4 NAK SYN ETB */ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, /* CAN EM SUB ESC FS GS RS US */ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, /* SP ! " # $ % & ' */ 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, /* ( ) * + , - . / */ 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, /* 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 */ 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* 8 9 : ; < = > ? */ 48, 48, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, /* @ A B C D E F G */ 64, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* H I J K L M N O */ 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* P Q R S T U V W */ 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* X Y Z [ \\ ] ^ _ */ 48, 48, 48, 91, 92, 93, 94, 48, /* ` a b c d e f g */ 96, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* h i j k l m n o */ 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* p q r s t u v w */ 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48, /* x y z { | } ~ DEL */ 48, 48, 48, 123, 124, 125, 126, 1}; .fi .sp .in -10 For example, the string ``33:48,37:48,45-47:48,64:48'' indicates that the exclamation mark, percent sign, dash, period, slash, and ampersand characters should be treated the same way as characters and numbers. This is very useful for cutting and pasting electronic mailing addresses and UNIX filenames. .SH "KEY TRANSLATIONS" .PP It is possible to rebind keys (or sequences of keys) to arbitrary strings for input by changing the translations for the vt100 widget. Changing the translations for events other than key and button events is not expected and causes unpredictable behavior. .PP The actions available for key translations are: .TP 15 .B insert() Processes the key in the normal way; i.e., inserts the ASCII character code corresponding to the keysym found in the keyboard mapping table into the input stream. .TP 15 .B string(\fIstring\fB) Rebinds the key or key sequence to the string value; that is, inserts the string argument into the input stream. Quotation is necessary if the string contains whitespace or non-alphanumeric characters. If the string argument begins with the characters ``0x'', it is interpreted as a hex character constant and the corresponding character is sent in the normal way. .TP 15 .B keymap(\fIname\fB) The \fBkeymap\fP action takes a single string argument naming a resource to be used to dynamically define a new translation table; the name of the resource is obtained by appending the string ``Keymap'' to \fIname\fP. The keymap name \fBNone\fP restores the original translation table (the very first one; a stack is not maintained). Upper/lowercase is significant. .TP 15 .B insert-selection(\fIname\fP[,\fIname\fP]...\fB) Retrieves the value of the first (leftmost) named selection that exists or cut buffer that is non-empty and inserts the value into the input stream. \fIName\fP is the name of any selection (for example, \fBPRIMARY\fP or \fBSECONDARY\fP), or the name of a cut buffer: \fBCUT_BUFFER0\fP, ..., \fBCUT_BUFFER7\fP. Upper/lowercase is significant. .PP For example, a debugging session might benefit from the following bindings: .sp .in +4 .Ds .TA .5i .ta .5i *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>F13: keymap(dbx) *VT100.dbxKeymap.translations: \\ <Key>F14: keymap(None) \\n\\ <Key>F17: string("next") string(0x0d) \\n\\ <Key>F18: string("step") string(0x0d) \\n\\ <Key>F19: string("continue") string(0x0d) \\n\\ <Key>F20: string("print ") insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) .De .sp .in -4 .SH KEY/BUTTON BINDINGS Within the VT100 widget the key and button bindings for selecting text, pasting text, and activating the menus are controlled by the translation bindings. In addition to the actions listed above under \fBKEY TRANSLATIONS\fP, the following actions are available: .TP 15 .B mode-menu() Posts one of the two mode menus, depending on which button is pressed. .TP 15 .B select-start() Unselects any previously selected text and begins selecting new text. .TP 15 .B select-extend() Continues selecting text from the previous starting position. .TP 15 .B start-extend() Begins extending the selection from the farthest (left or right) edge. .TP 15 .B select-end(\fIname\fP[,\fIname\fP]...\fB) Ends the text selection. \fIName\fP is the name of a selection or the name of a cut buffer into which the text is to be copied. \fIrxi\fP asserts ownership of all the selections named and copies the text into each of the cut buffers. Upper/lowercase is significant. .TP 15 .B ignore() Quietly discards the key or button event. .TP 15 .B bell(\fP[\fIvolume\fP]\fB) Rings the bell at the specified volume increment above/below the base volume. .PP The default bindings are: .sp .in +4 .Ds .TA .5i 1i 2i .ta .5i 1i 2i <KeyPress>: insert() \\n\\ Ctrl ~Meta <Btn1Down>: mode-menu() \\n\\ ~Meta <Btn1Down>: select-start() \\n\\ ~Meta <Btn1Motion>: select-extend() \\n\\ Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Down>: mode-menu() \\n\\ ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Down>: ignore() \\n\\ ~Meta <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \\n\\ ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Down>: start-extend() \\n\\ ~Meta <Btn3Motion>: select-extend() \\n\\ ~Meta <BtnUp>: select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \\n\\ <BtnDown>: bell(0) .De .sp .in -4 .SH "STARTING RXI FROM INIT" .PP \fBWarning, this feature is now obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. Sites using this method should switch to \fIxdm\fP instead.\fR .PP On operating systems such as 4.3bsd and Ultrix, the server and initial login window are normally started automatically by \fIinit(8)\fP. .PP By convention, the pseudoterminal with the highest minor device number (e.g. \fI\/dev\/ttyqf\fP and \fI\/dev\/ptyqf\fP) is renamed for the lowest display number (e.g. \fI\/dev\/ttyv0\fP and \fI\/dev\/ptyv0\fP). Machines that have more than one display can repeat this process using \fIttyqe\fP for \fIttyv1\fP, and so on. .PP Once the pseudoterminals are in place, a line similar to the following may be added to \fI/etc/ttys\fP (replacing \fIXqvss\fP with the appropriate server and putting it all on one line): .sp .in +4 .nf ttyv0 "/usr/bin/X11/rxi -L -geom 80x24+1+1 -display :0" rxi on secure window="/usr/bin/X11/Xqvss :0" .fi .in -4 .PP Sites that used to run X10 should note that the colon in the server display number is required. .PP Although the release installs both the X server and \fIrxi\fP in /usr/bin/X11 by default, many sites choose to make a copy of both of these programs on the root partition (usually in /etc) so that they may still be used even if the partition containing /usr/bin/X11 isn't mounted. .PP Some versions of \fIinit\fP have relatively small program name buffer sizes and treat all sharp signs as comment delimiters. Sites that wish to list large numbers of options on the rxi line needs to write a small shell script to exec the long rxi line. The best solution, of course, is to use \fIxdm\fP. .PP The .B Environment menu is available only when in ``Rational'' mode and is popped up when the Control key and mouse button 3 are pressed in the VT102 window. Selection of an entry in this menu is equivlent to a special keystroke using a fake ``key'' called MENU_PICK in the Rational keymap. .SH "OTHER FEATURES" .I RXI automatically highlights the window border and text cursor when the mouse cursor enters the window (selected) and unhighlights them when the cursor leaves the window (unselected). If the window is the focus window, then the window is highlighted no matter where the mouse cursor goes. .PP There are escape sequences to activate and deactivate an alternate screen buffer, which is the same size as the display area of the window. When activated, the current screen is saved and replace with the alternate screen. Saving of lines scrolled off the top of the window is disabled until the normal screen is restored. The .IR termcap (5) entry for .I rxi allows the visual editor .IR vi (1) to switch to the alternate screen for editing and restore the screen on exit. .PP There are escape sequences to change the name of the windows and to specify a new log filename. .SH ENVIRONMENT .I RXI sets the environment variables ``TERM'' and ``TERMCAP'' properly for the size window you have created. It also uses and sets the environment variable ``DISPLAY'' to specify which bit map display terminal to use. The environment variable ``WINDOWID'' is set to the X window id number of the .I rxi window. .SH "SEE ALSO" resize(1), X(1), pty(4), tty(4) .SH BUGS .PP The \fB\-L\fP option is no longer needed as the new \fIxdm\fP display manager system handles logging in in a much cleaner way. No more messing around with trying to match colors in \fI/etc/ttys\fP or worrying about an unwanted login window. \fBThis option may be removed in future releases.\fP .PP \fBRxi hangs forever if you try to paste too much text at one time.\fP It is both producer and consumer for the pty and can deadlock. .PP Variable-width fonts are not handled reasonably. .PP This program still needs to be rewritten. It should be split into very modular sections, with the various emulators being completely separate widgets that don't know about each other. Ideally, you'd like to be able to pick and choose emulator widgets and stick them into a single control widget. .PP The focus is considered lost if some other client (e.g., the window manager) grabs the pointer; it is difficult to do better without an addition to the protocol. .PP There needs to be a dialog box to allow entry of log filename and the COPY filename. .PP Many of the options are not resettable after .I rxi starts. .PP This manual page is too long. There should be a separate users manual defining all of the non-standard escape sequences. .PP All programs should be written to use X directly; then we could eliminate this program. .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1988, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. .br Copyright 1988, 1989, Rational. .br See \fIX(1)\fP for a full statement of rights and permissions. .SH VERSION .nf March 28, 1991 !Machine.Release.X_Interface.Release10_9_0.
