What are these "Keywords" you keep referring to in your overly terse
replies? Is there a particular documentation site where he should enter
the keywords?

That version's very old (but agree it contains this particular information -
bottom of page 4).

xterm supports ANSI color, VT220 emulation and UTF-8
There's an faq at
