Ken-

Do you want to change it generically, or just for some invocations
of xterm? On the fly? What are you looking for?

If generically, the easiest way is usually through the window
manager. For instance, in twm (at least, pre-R4), you add the
following (or something similar) to your .twmrc file:

IconDirectory  "/usr/include/X11/icons"
Icons
{
   "xterm"        "xterm.icon"   # obtained from IconDirectory
}

Is that what you wanted?
