Did you try "man xterm"?
How do I get scroll bars on my xterm?
I've put an .x11defaults file (.x11defaults is read by xrdb right
after starting) in my home dir. In that defaults file I've written
XTerm*scrollBars: true; but no go on the bars. I've got an .xinitrc
file, a .tcshrc file, and a .login file in my home dir also. What is
the correct statement(s), and into which file (.xinitrc,
.x11defaults, .tcshrc) should the statement(s) be placed?
You were so close and yet so far. If you had put a file name
.Xdefaults with the following line in it, you would have been home
free:
*XTerm*ScrollBar: True
You might also want something like:
*XTerm*saveLines: 200
*XTerm*scrollTtyOutput: False
*XTerm*scrollKey: True

In .xinitrc, it's:
xterm -sb to have a left scrollbar
and
xterm -sb -rightbar to have a right scrollbar
This works of course. The advantage of setting things in your
.Xdefaults file is that it sets up the defaults for any xterm you
start however you start it, rather than just those started by
.xinitrc.
