How to install an Xterm resource setting.

D

dalpets

Apparently the command eightBITSelectTypes has a positive effect on some cut & paste routines.
What file should it be made in & what is the acual command.?
Thanks
 
By convention, resources are loaded from ~/.Xresources on startup of an X session, so add them there. A typical entry for xterm might look like this:
XTerm*Background: white

To reload resources without restarting your running X session, use xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

I ran xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources but nothing happens.
.X resources is a hidden file, so sorry this is a bit over my head at this time because I don't know what to expect.
More help please.
Thanks.
