541<dd>
542<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
543shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
544quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
545create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.</p>

547<dd>
548<p>The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.</p>
549</dd>
550<dd>
551<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
552descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
553can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
554terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
555not.</p>

573Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

576without having to run a program within it.
577</dd>
578<dd>
579<p>If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp

1326<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1327will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1328no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1329means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1331mappings themselves.</p>

1334<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1335if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
