        <application>&app;</application> is a terminal emulation application that you can use to perform the following tasks:

             <para>
                A shell is a program that interprets and executes the commands that you type at a command line prompt. When you start <application>&app;</application>, the application starts the default shell that is specified in your system account. You can switch to a different shell at any time.

             <para>
                <application>&app;</application> emulates the <application>xterm</application> application developed by the X Consortium. In turn, the <application>xterm</application> application emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence is a series of characters that starts with the <keycap>Esc</keycap> character. <application>&app;</application> accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen.

        <para>
          When you start <application>&app;</application> for the first time, the application opens a terminal window with a group of default settings. The group of default settings is called the Default profile. The profile name appears in the titlebar of the <application>&app;</application> window.  </para>

          The terminal window displays a command prompt where you can type UNIX commands. The command prompt can be a %, #, >, $, or any other special character. The cursor is positioned at the command prompt. When you type a UNIX command and press <keycap>Return</keycap>, the computer executes the command. By default, <application>&app;</application> uses the default shell specified for the user who starts the application.

          You can create a new profile, and apply the new profile to the terminal to modify characteristics such as font, color and effects, scroll behavior, window title, and compatibility. You can also specify a command that runs automatically when you start <application>&app;</application> in the profile. </para>
          <para>You define each terminal profile in the <guilabel>Profiles</guilabel> dialog, which you access from the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu. You can define as many different profiles as you require. When you start a terminal, you can choose the profile that you want to use for the terminal. Alternatively, you can change the terminal profile while you use the terminal. To specify an initial profile for a terminal when you start the application from a command line, use the following command: </para>
        <para>
          <command>mate-terminal --window-with-profile=<replaceable>profilename</replaceable></command>

        <title>Working With Multiple Terminals</title> 
        <para>
          <application>&app;</application> provides a tab feature that enables you to open several terminals in a single window. Each terminal opens in a separate tab. Click on the appropriate tab to display the terminal in the window. Each tabbed terminal in a window is a separate subprocess, so you can use each terminal for different tasks. You can apply a different profile to each tabbed terminal in the window.  </para>
       <para>
          The titlebar of the terminal window shows either the name of the current profile, or the name specified by the current profile. <xref linkend="mate-terminal-tabbed"/> shows a <application>&app;</application> window with four tabs. In this case, each of the four tabs has a different profile. The name of the profile in the active tab, Profile 1, appears in the titlebar.  </para>
