System name:		opus
Type and version:	IP22 8.0C
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?
	run an xterm

What's wrong:
	the colors are ugly.  This is because irix's xterm
app-defaults are wrong:

    !SGI customizations

    *background:            gray40
    *foreground:            white
    *cursorColor:           yellow

    *scrollBar:                true

The app-defaults should be specified in the most generic form
possible.  This would mean using class names, not instance names.

What should have happened:
	I should have gotten my colors.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
