I tried setting colours using xrdb. In particular, I tried setting colours for
xclock. I tried certain statements like xclock*Border: red    for example.
But it did not work. Also, I tried xclock*Foreground, but surprisingly -
it worked! *border also did not work. So, what I am trying to say is
that I can't figure out what the pattern is for defining colours. Some
work and some don't. How come?

thanx,
