Line 7:
A terminal window allows the user access to a text terminal and all its applications such as [[command-line interface]]s (CLI) and [[text user interface]] (TUI) applications. These may be running either on the same machine or on a different one via [[telnet]], [[Secure Shell|ssh]], [[dial-up]], or over a direct [[serial port|serial connection]]. On [[Unix-like]] operating systems, it is common to have one or more terminal windows connected to the local machine.
Terminals usually support a set of [[escape sequences]] for controlling color, [[Cursor (computers)|cursor]] position, etc. Examples include the family of terminal control sequence standards
