OK I thought I knew how to do this but I find I can't do it now.
I want to set the default font size of my xterm I want to have it the
same size as the "Large" option when you CTRL + right click and select
Large from the VT Fonts popup menu in XTerm. In order to do this I
wanted to find out what the value of the .xterm.fontMenu.font5.font: and
include this in ~/.Xresources. Now the problem.
When I open editres choose Get Tree from the Commands Menu and click on
my Xterm then select the Xterm --> fontMenu --> font5 widget in editres
and choose Show Resource Box from the Commands Menu I can't seem to
return the current value of Font5 or any other widgets value. From
memory, in the past I was able to query the value for each item and it
would show up in the Enter Resource Value field: (

Am I halucinating? How does one query the current value of an Xresource?
Was it another utility that I can't remember now?
Thanks
