thanks (and to martin) - but still having problems: 1) Do I have to restart X for the Xresources to take effect? 2) Which color is which? This is what Ive done: made xt52502, with the xterm -name "test5250" entered in Xresources: test5250*color1:blue test5250*color8:blue If I do ps x, it shows with a name of test5250 (although the title is xt5250 - test5250) The color is green, the xterm menus are white. I guess Ive got the colors wrong, or I need to edit Xdefaults or a typing mistake, but having to shut down X each time is getting boring - I've been here before.
