Hi Zach; You have received a number of good answers to your question but I did not notice anyone telling you some of the really basic stuff (that I admit you might already know). Do a "ls -A" in your home directory (which you can get to from anywhere by doing a "cd" without any arguments) and see if you already have a file named ".Xresources". Edit (or create) this file with an editor (vi, ae, or whatever). In that file make two entries: xterm*background:black xterm*forground:white Take a look at the xterm man page (man xterm).
