To be honest i have no idea, but I'd like to ask for the reason one would want to use the aixterm anyways. I always found xterm to be a lot more versatile yet available over a lot of different platforms whereas aixterm is only available on AIX, in the best possible circumstances equivalent to xterm and most probably falling short. Or is it just an "interesting" problem to chew on?

I use the following Xdefaults for xterm which makes it look and work mostly like the aixterms factory defaults:

Code:
! /*--------------------- XTerm ----------------------------------*/
XTerm*background:       steelblue
XTerm*foreground:       wheat
XTerm*cursorColor:      wheat
XTerm*font:             -ibm-roman-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
XTerm*iconImage:        /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/xlogo16
XTerm*fullCursor:       true
XTerm*saveLines:                2000
! XTerm*scrollBar:              true
! XTerm*scrollPosition: right             // seem's not to work
! this is for displaying german umlauts
XTerm*fontMenu*font1*Label:   ISO8859-Charset
XTerm*VT100*font1: -ibm--medium-r-medium--20-14-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1

I hope this helps.

NAME
appres - list X application resource database SYNOPSIS
appres [class [instance]] [-1] [toolkitoptions] DESCRIPTION
The appres program prints the resources seen by an application (or subhierarchy of an application) with the specified class and instance names. It can be used to determine which resources a particular program will load. For example, % appres XTerm will list the resources that any xterm program will load. If no application class is specified, the class -AppResTest- is used. To match a particular instance name, specify an instance name explicitly after the class name, or use the normal Xt toolkit option. For example, % appres XTerm myxterm or % appres XTerm -name myxterm To list resources that match a subhierarchy of an application, specify hierarchical class and instance names. The number of class and instance components must be equal, and the instance name should not be specified with a toolkit option. For example, % appres Xman.TopLevelShell.Form xman.topBox.form will list the resources of widgets of xman topBox hierarchy. To list just the resources matching a specific level in the hierarchy, use the -1 option. For example, % appres XTerm.VT100 xterm.vt100 -1 will list the resources matching the xterm vt100 widget.
