DESCRIPTION¶
Access a UNIX shell in the MATE environment.
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.
Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and xterm
terminals.
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.
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.
