A number of quantities can be set in the .xemprc file  which
will  tailor  the  behavior  of  the  utility.  The  file is
searched for in the current directory, followed by the users
HOME  directory.  Options  given  at  the  command-line will
always overrule options in your .xemprc.

Empty line and lines starting with a '#' are  skipped,  also
lines  starting  with  "X  " will be skipped. Lines starting
with "TC " will be interpreted without the "TC ".

Lines starting with "coun (<country>)" are scanned  only  if
you're  playing  as <country>, thus allowing you to set up a
.xemprc for more than one game.

Lines starting with "term (<termtype>)" are scanned only  if
you're working on a <termtype> terminal.

1.  General options

Here follows a list of all  options  tcemp  will  recognize.
All keywords are case-censitive!

2.  Defining capabilities for each terminal.

You should run the program 'trycap' on each terminal type on
which you want to play tcemp. This will help you finding out
the best highlights for this terminal type. Trycap will tell
you which line to add.

3.  Bindings

You can  also  add  bindings  to  your  .xemprc.  These  are
shortcuts,  so  you  don't  have  to walk through many menus
before executing a command.
A list of all possible commands is in "info: bind/bindings"

Do not try to rebind the "space", "tab"  or  "return"  keys.

They are used for the buttons.
