 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 1. It
+controls what \fIpterm\fP does when the process running inside it
+terminates. When set to 2, \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 (the default), \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".
