xterms is "standard xterm", meaning a fixed 80x24 window. This is
mostly used with older programs that can't cope with a variable-size
window, and when using rlogin to connect to or from other machines on
a network which are full of such programs.
The problem that "xterms" solves is that some programs used in an
xterm window would otherwise believe that the saveLines are part of
the visible screen, and format accordingly. The "xterms" designation
hides the saveLines from them.
