*NOTE* This work in progress. User beware!

*NOTE* Check the XMLterm web site <http://xmlterm.org> for updates.

|
|
1. First obtain the Mozilla Linux binary tar file
|
|
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/m11/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-M11.tar.gz"
|
|
and untar it in any convenient location. This will create a
|
|
directory named "package" containing the binaries.
|
|
|
|
2. Untar the XMLterm binary tar file "xmlterm-i686-pc-linux-gnu-M11.tar.gz"
|
|
in the "package" directory created above.
|
|
|
|
3. Type the following command in the "package" directory:
|
|
|
|
./mozilla chrome://xmlterm/content/xmlterm.html
|
|
|
|
This should create an XMLTerm in the browser window. Then click on
|
|
that window with the mouse to shift focus and start typing UNIX
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**
|
|
The command prompt is assumed to be terminated by one of the characters
|
|
"#$%>?", followed by a space. If this is not the case, many features will
|
|
not work. This restriction will be relaxed in the future.
|
|
|
|
4. To use the stand-alone XMLterm executable called "xmlterm",
|
|
type the following command in the "package" directory:
|
|
|
|
./run-mozilla.sh xmlterm
|
|
|
|
(The Mozilla component registry may need to be updated by running the
|
|
full browser using step 3 at least once before running "xmlterm".)
|
|
|
|
5. The command line can be edited using EMACS-style key bindings.
|
|
Command completion should also work with TCSH and BASH, as should history
|
|
recall.
|
|
|
|
6. By default, blue coloring is used to indicate clickable display elements.
|
|
Note that the prompt and the input command line are clickable.
|
|
(Of course, the appearance of XMLterm is completely configurable
|
|
using the CSS stylesheet chrome://xmlterm/skin/default/xmlterm.css)
|
|
|
|
After typing one or two commands, click on the prompt string of any previous
|
|
command to see what happens! Then click again on the same prompt string.
|
|
Also click on "Hide all output" button at the top of the document.
|
|
|
|
Clicking on a previous command line (to the right of the prompt) re-executes
|
|
the command.
|
|
|
|
7. The sample Perl script "xls", the iconic/hypertext version of the Unix
|
|
"ls" command, is also installed in the "package" directory. Adding
|
|
the "package" directory to your path should enable you to use the "xls"
|
|
command.
