Dear list

I can't seem to get colored xterm window borders to work

xterm -geometry 80x50 -fg blue -bg red &

Works well, giving me blue letters on red background, but

xterm -geometry 80x50 -fg blue -bg red -bd green &

gives me just the same ... the -bd some_color flag doesn't work (see
xterm(1))

any ideas what I am doing wrong?
