Getting current Xresource value in editres

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.

But 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 order to 
do this I wanted to find out what the value of the 
.xterm.fontMenu.font5.font: . 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 Font fontSize 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.
