NAME
     xpref - a preference setting tool

SYNOPSIS
     xpref [normal Xaw options]

     This is a user-contributed client.

DESCRIPTION
     The xpref program is a version of xset.

     You can set your preferences via buttons, scroll bars, or
     type-in text windows.  Things that toggle (keyboard auto
     repeat, screen blanking, and screen exposures) can be set
     with on/off buttons and take effect immediately.

     Things that take values (keyboard click, bell volume, pitch,
     and duration, mouse acceleration numerator, acceleration
     denominator, and threshold, and screen time-out and cycle)
     can be set with a scroll bar or type-in text window and
     don't take effect until you press the (label) button
     directly above the type-in window.

     Things that toggle the display can use the current setting
     and dimming it (for example, if keyboard repeat is off then
     the off button is dimmed).

     Things that take a value display the current value in the
     type-in window and position the scroll bar at that position.

OPTIONS
     The xpref program takes all of the standard toolkit options.
