        bind "set convert-meta off"
        bind "set output-meta on"
    And use the right click menu to set the text encoding to "UTF-8".
Launch LilyTerm under a chroot jail
    Extract xauth info to a file (under X):
        xauth extract /PathToChroot/tmp/display $DISPLAY
    Mount the devpts device and /tmp (may not necessary) before chroot into a chroot jail:
        mount /dev/pts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts
        mount -o bind /tmp /PathToChroot/tmp (may not necessary)
    Merge the extracted xauth info and set the DISPLAY environ after chroot into the chroot jail:
        xauth merge /tmp/display
        export DISPLAY=:0
    Launch LilyTerm directly, or run it under Xnest/Xephyr:
        xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 800x600
    or
        xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600
<Ctrl><S> and <Ctrl><Q> don't work under VIM:
    Use the following command to turn off 'flow-Control' under LilyTerm:
        stty raw
    or
        stty -ixon
BSD Users:
    Please mount the procfs before launch LilyTerm:
        mount -t procfs procfs /proc

ENVIRONMENT
TERM
    Sets what type of terminal attempts to emulate. Please always set to "xterm" under LilyTerm.
VTE_CJK_WIDTH
    Controls the width of some ideographs should be "single width (narrow)" or "double width (wide)" in a vte teminal.
    This environment should be set before creating a vte widget.
    In LilyTerm, you may set the VTE_CJK_WIDTH of a new tab to 'wide' with right click menu 'New tab with specified locale' -> 'xx_XX.UTF-8 (Wide)' or 'UTF-8 (Wide)'.
PROMPT_COMMAND
    Customs the "Window Title" for shell.
    The following is a reasonable example ~/.bashrc for bash:
    case $TERM in
        xterm*)
            PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
            ;;
        *)
            ;;
    esac
    The following is a reasonable example ~/.cshrc for csh/tcsh:
        switch ($TERM)
            case "xterm*":
                setenv TITLE "%{\033]0;%m: %~\007%}"
                breaksw
        endsw set prompt = "${TITLE}%# "
