This can be done in several ways - most of which depends on how the
xterm is started.

Your xterm may be started from .xinitrc (xinit) or .xsession (xdm),
which are usually shell scripts which can easily be edited.
If you don't have such files, you are probably using global files,
you can use 'ps -x' to find out what you are really running.

xterms started by the window manager (e.g. fvwm) can usually be
specified with options in the config file (e.g. .fvwmrc).

If you feel like studying man pages, or can get better instruction elsewhere,
you can also use app-defaults files. check man X, man XTerm etc.

In addition to what Hans Georg wrote...

The usual RedHat installation will launch an exterm from your
/home/<usre>/.Xclients file.  Take a look with vi (the color definitions
will be obvious.

The xterm launched by the  "goodstuff" tool bar is defined in .xinirc as
Hans mentioned (I believe.
