u forgot, didn't know (?) to do: 
        xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
        ( it's buried in the docs too )

than
        xterm

and now for fun ..
        - try changing the fonts
        - than colorize your prompts
        - or add /home/rippl#  to the title bar
        - or gazillion billion other silly options
