      <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Your current profile is selected in the sidebar. If you wish to edit
      a different profile, click on its name.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui style="tab">Command</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>From the <gui>When command exits</gui> drop down list, select one of
      the following options:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Exit the terminal</gui></p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Restart the command</gui></p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Hold the terminal open</gui></p>
        </item>
      </list>
      <p>The setting will be saved automatically when you select it.</p>

    that is non-interactive, have set the exit behavior to <gui>Exit the
    terminal</gui>, and have set the profile to be the default profile,
    <app>Terminal</app> may exit before you can see the output of the
    command.</p>
