+This option should be set to 0, 1 or 2; the default is 2. It

+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).

+wrong if the process suffers an error, but not to have to bother
+closing the window in normal circumstances.

 This option counts the number of bell characters which will activate
 bell overload if they are received within a length of time T. The
