I have problems specifying resource in a resource file.  For the following
simple program I have listed below, I placed a resource file under the pathname:
/lib/X11/app-defaults/Goodbye.  The resource file is loaded when the application
goodbye is run, but resource database can't seem to match the resource I have
listed in the resource file.  The program is in OpenLook.

For the sample program below, I specified in the Goodbye resource file:

Goodbye*button*XtNlabel: Goodbye

This did not work.  In fact, nothing else I tried worked except:

*label: Goodbye

Can someone please explain to me how one specifies resource in database.  I am
reading Young's book, but his examples does not help.   I thank you for any
help.
