MS> Two (2) questions remain:
I grant you two (2) questions.
MS> [1] Why am I confused by xrdb?
Everyone is confused by xrdb.
MS> Why did it give me some _other_ font?
No idea. I'm confused by xrdb.
MS> [2] Once I am in an xterm window, *HOW* can I query that window for its
MS> current configuration?
Now look, that's three (3) questions.
