+<h1>
+The Program Settings Dialog</h1>
+<p>In this dialog, program specific settings can be selected. It is invoked
+by <i>Settings|This Program</i>. The settings apply only to the currently loaded
+executable and will be saved across sessions.</p>
+<blockquote><b><i>Important note:</i></b> The chosen settings will only
+apply the next time the executable is loaded into KDbg. This means that
+after pressing
+<i>OK</i> in this dialog, you must reload the executable
+using <i>File|Recent Executables</i>!!</blockquote>

+<p>In this section, the debugger to be used for the program can be chosen.</p>
+<h4>
+How to invoke GDB</h4>
+
+<blockquote>Enter the command to invoke gdb. Leave this field empty to
+use the default gdb command as specified in the <a href="globaloptions.html">global
+options</a>. When you are cross-compiling and remote-debugging, you will
+probably want to use a different gdb suitable for the target platform.
+The default command is <tt>gdb --fullname --nx</tt>. Be sure to specify
+at least <tt>--fullname</tt> if you change the gdb command.
+If you remove this command switch, KDbg will not work.
+</blockquote>
+
+<h2>
+<a name="output"></a>Output</h2>
+<p>In this section, the terminal emulation under which the program will run
+can be selected.</p>
+<h4>
+No input and output</h4>
+
+<blockquote>Check this option if your program does not receive input from
+the terminal and you do not want to see the output that the program writes
+to <tt>stdout</tt> and <tt>stderr</tt> (if any). All three standard channels
+(<tt>stdin</tt>, <tt>stdout</tt>, and <tt>stderr</tt>) are effectively
+redirected to <tt>/dev/null</tt>.</blockquote>
+
+<h4>
+Only output, simple terminal emulation</h4>
+
+<blockquote>Check this option if your program does not receive input from
+the terminal (<tt>stdin</tt> will be redirected to <tt>/dev/null</tt>),
+and the output that it writes to <tt>stdout</tt> and <tt>stderr</tt> does
+not require sophisticated terminal emulation. The output will be shown
+in the <a href="pgmoutput.html">Output window</a>.
+<br><i>Important:</i> The integrated terminal emulator will only interpret
+the line-feed character <tt>\n</tt> (ASCII 10) to break lines. It will
+<em>not</em>
+handle the carriage-return character <tt>\r</tt> (ASCII 13). This is sufficient
+for displaying plain debugging output that is often used by developers
+of GUI programs.</blockquote>
+
+<h4>
+Full terminal emulation</h4>
+
+<blockquote>Check this option if your program reads input from <tt>stdin</tt>
+or if the output to <tt>stdout</tt> or <tt>stderr</tt> requires terminal
+emulation. A terminal emulator will be invoked as specified in the <a href="globaloptions.html">global
+options</a>.</blockquote>
