In your ~/.Xresources put:

! XTerm preferences
XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
XTerm*Geometry: 80x25
XTerm*termName: xterm-color

Then merge in the changes with 'xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources' while running un=
der
X. To make the preferences permanent put the following at the beginning of =
your
~/.xinitrc

# merge in user resources
if [ -f $HOME/.Xresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
fi
