The following sections delve deeper into technical details, and should
not be required for normal use.
=== Persistant State
SyncTERM will preserve a very small amount of state when exited normally
and restore it when the program is restarted. At present, this state
is limited to the scaling factor applied to the window. The scaling
factor is a floating-point value that indicates the largest value which
both the width and height can be multiplied by and still fit inside the
current window size. If you manually resize the window only making it
wider for example, the additional width will not be saved as the height
will control the size the next time SyncTERM is started.
This state is only saved under two specific circumstances. Either the
current text mode at exit is the same as the configured Startup Screen
Mode, or the Startup Screen Mode is "Current" and the current text mode
is "80x25". In all other cases (such as after the Current Screen Mode
is changed), it will not be saved. Also, it's only saved when the
program exits normally. In the case of a crash, the setting will not be
updated.
=== Installing Terminfo Entry
