I'm not aware of the resources like loginShell -- where are they? > Also, did you remember to export the variable?

Would I write (instead of where it has vt220 or whatever) xterm-xfree86 in /etc/ttys to get this? Would this also make it automatically a login shell? Could you also point me to the man pages or FAQs where the resources and things like using xterm at the console, etc, are described? Cheers.
