I believe that the "correct" way to do this is to add xterm resource
settings to your ~/.Xdefaults (which some people preferr to call
~/.Xresources) file. This is a method of setting attributes for an
entire category of X clients, like all xterms.
IIRC, your ~/.Xdefaults is loaded by a calling xrdb in your ~/.xinitrc
file. (~/.xinirc is alos sometimes called ~/.xsession if you are
using xdm.)
I seem to recall that Xemacs has a very well documented
sample.Xdefaults file accessable under it's help menu. This won't
help with xterm resource settings but it does serve a a good example
of setting them.
Just for kicks here is a clip of my .Xdefaults regarding xterm
settings. I'm not 100% sure if this is the most correct waqy to set
these but they seemed to work.
