It still looks to me like the newlines aren't what is expected. Try
"od -xc .xinitrc" to see what they are. They should be just "\n"
("0a"). If they are "\r\n" ("0d0a"), they are in DOS format; If they
are "\r" ("0d"), they are in old Mac format. I suspect they are DOS
format. The "\r" is the carriage return character; on a printer, it
sends the carriage back to the beginning of the same line. Your error
messages are garbaled as follows:
" is not definedWarning: Color name "black
I suspect the actual message is something like what follows:
some text ......Warning: Color name "black\r" is not defined

You were right. My .Xresources file was in dos format, although I have
no idea how it got that way... Probably something about the way I saved
the initial example file I found on the interweb. I resaved with the
correct newlines and everything worked perfectly.
Thanks very much for the help.
