Ok. After that, all you have to do is:
% xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
or restart your X session.

What is xtermset? I don't seem to be able to find it in my
XFree86-3.3.6 installation?

Xterm usually runs a shell under it. Some shells need special setup to
allow you to write greek text (or any 8-bit text, for that matter) in

% cat > /dev/null
Press LeftAlt-Shift here and write some greek text.
