The X Window System has three terminal emulation clients, hpterm, dtterm, and xterm. The default for HP-UX is hpterm.

dtterm

provides an EUC 4-byte capable terminal emulator. It emulates the DEC VT2200 terminal.

hpterm

emulates an HP Term0 terminal.

xterm

emulates DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 terminals.

To start a terminal emulator, type:

   emulator [-options] [&]

There are too many options to cover here. Refer to the man page for the terminal emulators for all the options available.

The following example starts an hpterm emulator with scrollbars.

   hpterm -sb &

The following example starts a dtterm emulator with the title "my terminal" and display it initially as an icon:

   dtterm -title "my terminal" -iconic
