  12. Could someone give be a brief explanation of resources.
  13.  
  14. Specifically, I don't  understand why some resources use a '*' and other
  15. use '.' as separator characters.
  16.  
  17. Secondly, is the format for .Xresources and .Xdefaults files the same?
  18.  
  19. I read some books that talked about this topic but didn't explain the 
  20. above well enough for me...
  21.  
  22. Thanks.
