That seems simple enough.

Okay.

I suppose that it will need to be some sort of diff that will 
automatically get applied?

Do you know what directory the diff needs to be based in?

Where can I read more about this?  -  Sorry for the n00b like questions.

I do appreciate the help.  :-)

I assume removing both my customizations and re-emerging xterm will 
revert back to Gentoo default.

Fair enough.

I'll give it a try in the next few days and report my findings.

Thank you again Neil.
