Thanks Tom,
The former ended up being a symbolic link to the latter. So I made
changes to the latter, specifically uncommented 'light foreground, dark
background' settings. Closed everything out and did 'startx' to find
that nothing was changed - I still had a light background with dark

Problem reports:
-sb makes the scroll bars appear. -sb rightbar moves the scroll bars to
the right hand side.
*-geom 90x30+140+80*. This will produce a window 90 units wide by 30
units tall, 140 units from the left edge of the screen and 80 units from
the top edge of the screen. You will have to adjust these

The best way to do this is to edit (or create) the .Xdefaults file in your home
directory.
something like the following:
begin .Xdefaults
*XTerm*background: red
*XTerm*foreground: white
*XTerm.VT100.geometry: 80x40
*XTerm*scrollBar: true
end
