  Creating a Resource File (Tru64 UNIX)
  Follow these steps to use resources to change Bookreader
  settings:

  1. Create a file named DXBookreader.dat in your home
        directory.
  2. Copy the file containing the default Bookreader resources
        into your directory using the following command:
        % cp /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/DXBookreader ~/
  3. Edit your copy of DXBookreader . Delete all resources you
        do not want to change, then specify new values for the
        resources you want to customize.

        Each specification in the resource file follows explicit
        syntax rules. For more information about the re-
        source syntax, see Specifying Bookreader Resource
        Settings
.
  4. Append the edited file DXBookreader to your
        DXBookreader.dat file.

        The next time you invoke Bookreader, it will first
        read the default values from the DXBookreader file in
        /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults , then it will modify the defaults
        using the values you specify in DXBookreader.dat .

  For more information about editing resources, see the man-
  page X (1X).
