    <p>Repeating that the user can edit the settings in each section is not
    very nice, we need to find a way around this.</p>
  </comment>

  <p>A profile is a collection of <app>Terminal</app> settings.
  <app>Terminal</app> supports multiple profiles. You can configure
  <app>Terminal</app> profiles to <link xref="pref-custom-command">run a custom
  command or shell</link>, set a profile exclusively to connect to remote
  computers using SSH or set a profile that launches a <app>GNU Screen</app>
  session.</p>

  <p>The available <app>Terminal</app> settings include:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Profile name.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Font and background colors.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p><gui style="tab">Compatibility</gui> with <key>Backspace</key> and
      <key>Delete</key> keys.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p><gui style="tab">Scrolling</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <p>The default profile is loaded when a new terminal is opened unless you
  have selected another profile. Any changes that you make to the settings will
  be stored in the currently used profile.</p>

  <section id="set-default" style="task">
    <title>Set a default profile</title>

    <p>The default profile is a collection of profile settings applied on the
    launch of every <app>Terminal</app> tab or window.</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
        <gui style="tab">Profiles</gui></guiseq>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Select the profile to be set as default from the <gui>Profile used

  </section>

  <section id="select-profile" style="task">

    <title>Create a new profile</title>

    <p>Any changes to a new profile are saved automatically. To create a new
    profile:</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">File</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">New Profile</gui></guiseq>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Enter a name for the new profile next to

      </item>
      <item>

      </item>
    </steps>

  </section>

  <section id="create-profile-from-existing" style="task">
    <title>Create a new profile based on an existing profile</title>

    <p>You can create a new profile based on settings from an existing
    profile:</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>Select the profile that you wish to edit from
        <guiseq><gui style="menu">Terminal</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">Change Profile</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem"><var>Profile name</var></gui></guiseq> where
        <var>Profile name</var> is the name of the profile that you wish to
        edit. Alternatively, you can select <guiseq>
        <gui style="menu">File</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">New Profile</gui></guiseq> to clone the profile
        that you are currently using.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Set your desired <link xref="#edit-profile">profile
        preferences</link>. These will be saved automatically. If you do not
        update the <gui>Profile name</gui> on the tab <gui style="tab">General
        </gui>, the new profile will not overwrite the profile that it is based
        on.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>

    <p>Alternatively, you can create a copy of the existing profile first and
    then edit the profile:</p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
        <gui style="tab">Profiles</gui></guiseq>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Select your desired profile.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Click <gui style="button">Clone</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Set your desired <link xref="#edit-profile">profile
        preferences</link>. These will be saved automatically. If you do not
        update the profile name, the new profile will not overwrite the profile
        that it is based on.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>

    <note>
      <p>Creating a new profile from an existing profile will not affect
      settings in an existing profile. Any changes to settings will be stored
      in the new profile.</p>
    </note>
