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.
