FILE
       /etc/xdg/lilyterm.conf	       System configure	file

       ~/.config/lilyterm/default.conf User's profile.

       Use  [Save  settings] in	the right click	menu to	save the current tab's
       settings	as default to the specified profile.

TIPS
       Display UTF-8 character under C locale

	   Execute the following command under LilyTerm:

	       bind "set convert-meta off"
	       bind "set output-meta on"

	   And use the right click menu	to set the text	encoding to "UTF-8".

       Launch LilyTerm under a chroot jail

	   Extract xauth info to a file	(under X):

	       xauth extract /PathToChroot/tmp/display $DISPLAY

	   Mount the devpts device and /tmp (may not necessary)	before	chroot
	   into	a chroot jail:

	       mount /dev/pts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts
	       mount -o	bind /tmp /PathToChroot/tmp (may not necessary)

	   Merge  the  extracted  xauth	info and set the DISPLAY environ after
	   chroot into the chroot jail:

	       xauth merge /tmp/display
	       export DISPLAY=:0

	   Launch LilyTerm directly, or	run it under Xnest/Xephyr:

	       xinit ~/.xinitrc	-- /usr/bin/Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 800x600

	   or

	       xinit ~/.xinitrc	-- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600

       <Ctrl><S> and <Ctrl><Q> don't work under	VIM:

	   Use	the  following	command	 to  turn  off	'flow-Control'	 under
	   LilyTerm:

	       stty raw

	   or

	       stty -ixon

       BSD Users:

	   Please mount	the procfs before launch LilyTerm:

	       mount -t	procfs procfs /proc

ENVIRONMENT
       TERM	      Sets  what  type of terminal attempts to emulate.	Please
		      always set to "xterm" under LilyTerm.

       VTE_CJK_WIDTH  Controls the width of some ideographs should be  "single
		      width  (narrow)" or "double width	(wide)"	in a vte temi-
		      nal.
		      This environment should be set  before  creating	a  vte
		      widget.
		      In  LilyTerm, you	may set	the VTE_CJK_WIDTH of a new tab
		      to 'wide'	with right click menu 'New tab with  specified
		      locale' -> 'xx_XX.UTF-8 (Wide)' or 'UTF-8	(Wide)'.

       PROMPT_COMMAND Customs the "Window Title" for shell.
		      The  following  is  a  reasonable	 example ~/.bashrc for
		      bash:

			  case $TERM in
			      xterm*)
				  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo	 -ne   "\033]0;${HOST-
			  NAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
				  ;;
			      *)
				  ;;
			  esac

		      The  following  is  a  reasonable	 example  ~/.cshrc for
		      csh/tcsh:

			  switch ($TERM)
			      case "xterm*":
				  setenv TITLE "%{\033]0;%m: %~\007%}"
				  breaksw
			  endsw

			  set prompt = "${TITLE}%# "
