TIPS
       Display UTF-8 character under C locale

	       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> dont 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}%# "
