is this the right place to write in a question for  a recompile of
xterm?
i don't know anything about unix...i only know that the xterm/s white
back ground is irritating my eyes.
and i don't want to keep typing in
    1 )    [xterm -bg grey -fg black]

i know  that under
    1)    usr/ports/x11/xtermset
there are files that would let me possibly edit the source code
& reompile this program with the desired effects mentioned above.  am i
in the right area?  & it shouldn't be hard right?  i just have to look
for that line of code in the source code?

goal here is:
    1)    just the directory (and location of it) so i can get there.
    2)     how exactly (basic terms) does a newbie with no experience in
editing / scripting / coding make
            make this work?  i don't need detailed ideas or anything.
... i mean...which editor.  basically.
            because then i would just save it, & recompile.  i imagine.
