 SYNOPSIS
     rxvt [options] [-e command [ args ]]
 DESCRIPTION
-    rxvt-unicode, version 7.6, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
+    rxvt-unicode, version 8.0, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
     as an *xterm*(1) replacement for users who do not require features such
     as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a
     result, rxvt-unicode uses much less swap space -- a significant
     advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
     Unlike the original rxvt, rxvt-unicode stores all text in Unicode
     internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
     world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very
     difficult, especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written
     scripts like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining
     rules, like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using
     these scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc.

+    should work fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left
     scripts, such as hebrew: rxvt-unicode adopts the view that bidirectional
     algorithms belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too
     many things -- such as cursor-movement while editing -- break
     otherwise), but that might change.
     If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let

     terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
     because the author couldn't get "mlterm" to use one font for latin1 and
     another for japanese.
     Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
     display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other

     improvements.

     and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode

     from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
     drastically reduces memory usage. See rxvtd(1) (daemon) and rxvtc(1)

 OPTIONS
     The rxvt options (mostly a subset of *xterm*'s) are listed below. In
     keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be eliminated

         other fonts might be smaller, but not (in general) larger. A

         prefix it with "x:". To specify an XFT-font, you need to prefix it
         with "xft:", e.g.:
            rxvt -fn "xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15"
            rxvt -fn "9x15bold,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"

         which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
         Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
         shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
         a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to

         It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
         passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
         file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the

         used or not.
         Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
         can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
               system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
            });

         useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
         without having to run a program within it.
         If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
         and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that

     intensityStyles: *boolean*
         When font styles are not enabled, or this option is enabled (True,

         "\e" (and so on), which will work with both Xt and rxvt's own

         Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
           URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61:    list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
         For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
         except "selection".
         Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle

         Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
         necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
         This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols
         of your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
         Start by pressing "Control" and "Shift" together, then releasing

+        not invoke its usual function but instead will insert the
         corresponding keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when
         the key has been released, otherwise pressing e.g. "Shift" would
         enter the symbol for "ISO Level 2 Switch", although your intention
         might have been to enter a reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
 ENVIRONMENT
     rxvt sets and/or uses the following environment variables:
     TERM
         Normally set to "rxvt-unicode", unless overwritten at configure
-        time, via resources or on the commandline.

     COLORTERM
-        Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled
+        Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on whether rxvt was compiled
         with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to
         indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen.
     COLORFGBG
         Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is
         Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with
         "--with-terminfo=PATH".
     DISPLAY

     SHELL
         The shell to be used for command execution, defaults to "/bin/sh".
