All of these resources are of the form \fIpterm.FOO\fP for some FOO; you can make \fIpterm\fP look them up under another name, such as \fIxyz.FOO\fP, by specifying the command-line option "-name xyz". +.IP "\fBpterm.CloseOnExit\fP" +This option should be set to 0, 1 or 2; the default is 2. It +controls what \fIpterm\fP does when the process running inside it +terminates. When set to 2 (the default), \fIpterm\fP will close its +window as soon as the process inside it terminates. When set to 0, +\fIpterm\fP will print the process's exit status, and the window +will remain present until a key is pressed (allowing you to inspect +the scrollback, and copy and paste text out of it). + +When this setting is set to 1, \fIpterm\fP will close +immediately if the process exits cleanly (with an exit status of +zero), but the window will stay around if the process exits with a +non-zero code or on a signal. This enables you to see what went +wrong if the process suffers an error, but not to have to bother +closing the window in normal circumstances. .IP "\fBpterm.TerminalType\fP" This controls the value set in the TERM environment variable inside the new terminal. The default is "xterm".
