452which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
453.Sp
454Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
455shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
456quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
457create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
458.Sp
459The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
460.Sp
461It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
462descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
463can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
464terminal. This works regardless of wether the \f(CW\*(C`\-embed\*(C'\fR option was used or
465not.

482without having to run a program within it.

967You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a \fIstring\fR
968with pattern \fBlist/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX\fR, where the delimeter `/'
969should be a character not used by the strings.
970.Sp
971Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:

973.Vb 1
974\& URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\e033<M-C-|abc|>
975.Ve

977The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

984.Sp
985If \fIstring\fR takes the form of \f(CW\*(C`command:STRING\*(C'\fR, the specified \fB\s-1STRING\s0\fR
986is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For

994Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
995will match if at \fIat least\fR the specified identifiers are being set, and
996no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
997means that defining a key map for \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR will automatically provide
998definitions for \f(CW\*(C`Meta\-a\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Shift\-a\*(C'\fR and so on, unless some of those are defined
999mappings themselves.
1000.Sp
1001Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1002if you overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`Insert\*(C'\fR key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1003\&\f(CW\*(C`Shift\-Insert\*(C'\fR mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke \*(L"holes\*(R" into the
1004user-defined keymap using the \f(CW\*(C`builtin:\*(C'\fR replacement:
1005.Sp
1006.Vb 2
1007\& URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1008\& URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1009.Ve
1010.Sp
1011The first line defines a mapping for \f(CW\*(C`Insert\*(C'\fR and \fIany\fR combination
1012of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1013\&\f(CW\*(C`Shift\-Insert\*(C'\fR.
1014.Sp
1015The following example will map Control\-Meta\-1 and Control\-Meta\-2 to
1016the fonts \f(CW\*(C`suxuseuro\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`9x15bold\*(C'\fR, so you can have some limited
1017font-switching at runtime:
