+VTE is a terminal emulator widget for use with GTK+.  This package
+contains the VTE library and development files and a sample
+implementation (vte).
+
+The VTE library inserts terminal capability strings into a tree 
+of tables, and then uses it to determine if data received from a 
+pseudo-terminal is a control sequence or just random data.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
