EXAMPLES

BUGS
     After start sometimes there is black screen. Resizing termit window helps.

     In options table 'tabs' field should be the last one. When loading all set-
     tings are applied in the same order as they are set in options table. So if
     you set tabs and only then colormap, these tabs  would  have  default  col-
     ormap.
