man emacs on m11-113-11:

     You can set X default values for your Emacs windows in  your
     .Xdefaults file.  Use the following format:

          emacs.keyword:value

     where value specifies the default value  of  keyword.  Emacs
     lets you set default values for the following keywords:

	:
	:
	:

     Cursor  For color displays, sets the color of  the  window's
             text  cursor.   See  the file /usr/lib/rgb.txt for a
             list of valid color names.

     Mouse   For color displays, sets the color of  the  window's
             mouse  cursor.   See the file /usr/lib/rgb.txt for a
             list of valid color names.

Which emacs was I looking at?  According to my MANPATH, /mit/gnu/man
comes before /usr/athena/man, so I was reading from
/mit/gnu/man/man1/emacs.1.  Is the emacs on athena 'athenized' too so
that it's different from GNU's?
