Everything appears to have loaded correctly when I check with the query
flag:
[Nessus:~] fcs% xrdb -query
xterm*Background: black
xterm*Foreground: gray70
xterm*jumpScroll: true
xterm*rightScrollBar: true
xterm*saveLines: 10000
xterm*scrollBar: true
I am using vim as my editor, and they are just plain ol' ascii text
files.
