I have looked up /sw/etc/app-defaults and the Fig and Fig-color files are in that directory. I have moved them to /etc/X11/app-defaults and done a symbolic link to the //sw/etc/app-defaults location as per all those files.
This has now cured the problem and with the ~/.Xresources file I can see the "help" html files etc.
So everthung now seems OK. Thanks very much for the assistance. Looking at the xfig.log file it looks as though the install script did put them into /sw/etc/app-defaults directly?
