>The GNOME terminal allows you to have different
      configuration profiles to suit different uses (different
      background colours, presence, absence or position of scrollbars,
      and so on).  To set these up, invoke the
      <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Preferences</SPAN
> dialogue from the
      <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</B
> menu of <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Terminal</TT
>. Select the options
      you prefer (these changes will be made to your currently-open
      terminal, so you can see what they look like), and before
      closing the preferences box, make sure you have put a new name
      in the <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Terminal Class</B
></TT
> field.
    </P
><P
>To activate a specific class at program startup you can use
      the <TT
CLASS="OPTION"
>--tclass</TT
> command line option
