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.
