 ceterm [options]
 "create ce terminal session"
 
 DESCRIPTION:
     Use  this command to create a new ceterm window.  Ceterm  accepts
     all  of  the  options  that   are  supported   by  ce;  read  the
     'xresources' help file for complete details.
     
     A ceterm window consists of the following components:
     
     A.  TITLE BAR
         Indicates  the  shell type and process id; the client  host's
         name  if you are using the local display with a remote shell;
         indicators for insert, scroll, hold, and autohold modes.
         
     B.  TRANSCRIPT PAD
         Contains  the  output of commands executed within the  ceterm
         process. This is a fully operational read-only ce window that
         has  unlimited  history  and  correctly   interprets  ce  key
         definitions  as  if  it were a cv (read-only)  session.   The
         transcript  pad can be saved if it is first associated with a
         disk file via the 'pn' command.
         
     C.  INPUT PAD
         Accepts  input  from  the user and gives that  input  to  the
         ceterm process, normally a shell process such as ksh, csh, or
         sh.   The input pad is of variable size and will grow if  (i)
         the  window is in hold mode and (ii) multiple input lines are
         provided.   The input pad is presented as a fully editable ce
         window  that correctly interprets ce key definitions as if it
         were  a ce (editable) session.  Note the distinction  between
         the  input pad and the command window (described below):  the
         input  pad  accepts input for the shell program (or  whatever
         other  program  may be running in the ceterm session),  while
         the command window accepts input for the ce editor to execute
         ce commands on any of the other windows.
         
     D.  COMMAND WINDOW
         Accepts  input  from the user and gives that input to the  ce
         editor.  Since a ceterm session contains several windows, the
         window  to  which the commands are applied is the  window  in
         which  the cursor was most recently located immediately prior
         to moving the cursor to the "Command:" prompt. (The cursor is
         usually  moved  to  the "Command:" prompt via  the  ce  'tdm'
         command  which  is  usually  bound to the  Escape  key.)  The
         behavior  of  the command window in a ceterm session  is  the
         same  as  the  behavior of the command window in a ce  or  cv
         session.
         
     E.  OUTPUT WINDOW
         Displays  messages from the ce editor.  Note the  distinction
         between  this  window and the transcript pad: the  transcript
         pad displays output from programs run in the shell, while the
         output  window displays messages from the ce editor  (usually
         in  response to specific keystrokes or commands given in  the
         input window).
     
     The  primary  difference between a ceterm session and a ce or  cv
     session is the presence of the input pad.

     In  the  Command window, ceterm and cp are aliases for  the  same
     command.
