		432	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		433	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		434	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		435	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		436
		437	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		438
		439	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		440	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		441	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		442	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		443	not.
		444
		445	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		446	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		447
		448	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		449	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

		455
		456	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		457	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		458	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		459	without having to run a program within it.
		460
		461	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		462	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		463	yourself if you want that.
		464
		465	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		466	pty/tty operations.
		467

		1060	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1061	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1062	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1063	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1064
		1065	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13

		1067	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1068	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1069	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1070	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1071	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1072	mappings themselves.
		1073
		1074	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1075	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1076	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1077	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1078
		1079	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1080	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1081
		1082	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
