+is
+.I the
+terminal emulator for Plan 9,
+it's main use case is for programs such as

+.CW ssh(1)
+where they usually expect a form of terminal emulator existing.

+The argument
+.CW -r
+sets
+.CW vt(1)
+in
+.I "raw mode" ,
+which is required by most, if not all programs of UNIX.
+Raw mode allows the program handle details of screen and keyboard shortcuts (such as, ctrl-a or tab for example)
+instead of the terminal.
+You may also set the emulated terminal type using
+.CW -a ,
+.CW -2
+and
+.CW -x
+which set the emulated terminal to ASCII, VT220 and XTerm respectively.
+by default VT100 is emulated, which have no colors, use XTerm if you want colors.
+Default background color is white (what else?), but if you enjoy black,
