    <terms>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--text</cmd>=<var>text</var></title>

      </item>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--entry-text</cmd>=<var>text</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the text that is displayed in the entry field of the text entry dialogue.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--hide-text</cmd></title>
	<p>Hides the text in the entry field of the text entry dialogue.</p>
      </item>

    </terms>
