When I tried to load defaults to the resources manger by using
"xrdb -load .Xresources", everything was all right except one
line in the file .Xresources:"sim.HOST: blue" which did not be
passed. I examined the context of resources manger by using
xrdb -query. All defaults were there except sim.HOST which
appeared as "sim.1: blue". I changed the name HOST to HHOST
or whatever else, it has no problem.

Does the string "HOST" reserved in xrdb? It seems that it will
be change to "1" automatically.
