Can anyone tell me why this does not work as I think it is suppose to?
I am working on a text editor that allows you to open another text
window from the one you are currently working in and pipe things from
one to the other.  I would like to be able to read a resource file and
specify colors and positions for each window that is opened.  Window A
is the start up window, so I would like to specify in a resource file
${HOME}/.SigEdrc the following:

SigEd*VPaneA.x:	200
SigEd*VPaneA.y:	0
SigEd*VPaneB.x:	220
SigEd*VPaneB.y:	20
SigEd*VPaneC.x:	240
SigEd*VPaneC.y:	40
SigEd*VPaneD.x:	260
SigEd*VPaneD.y:	60
SigEd*VPaneE.x:	280
SigEd*VPaneE.y:	80   ... etc

I am using the following routine to read in the database and can print
it backout in ASCII but I need to specify when to use these resources
some how.

  ...
    /* Load resources. */
    db = XrmGetFileDatabase(fname);
  ...
