Command Line Options
This chapter describes how to use resources and command line options
to specify how TeemTalk is run and displayed by the X Window
System.

Introduction

Resources are used to specify how TeemTalk is run and displayed by the X Window
System. The resource configurations are stored in user preference files which are
asserted when TeemTalk is loaded. This means, for example, that you do not have to
specify how the TeemTalk window is to be displayed each time it is loaded. There are
so many options which you could specify that including them on the command line for
loading TeemTalk would be impractical.
Once the normal resource specification for TeemTalk has been defined in a user
preference file, the resource specifications for a particular instance of TeemTalk may
be overridden using command line options.
Note: The default settings of functions relating to terminal
emulation are specified via pop-up menus in the TeemTalk
window. These are described in the Setup Menus chapter.
The following sections provide a brief introduction to using resources and command
line options. For a more detailed discussion and information on resource debugging,
refer to the section at the end of this chapter entitled Understanding X Resources.
