Ok.  After that, all you have to do is:

    % xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

or restart your X session.

What is xtermset?  I don't seem to be able to find it in my
XFree86-3.3.6 installation?

Xterm usually runs a shell under it.  Some shells need special setup to
allow you to write greek text (or any 8-bit text, for that matter) in
their prompt.  Try this with:

    % cat > /dev/null
    Press LeftAlt-Shift here and write some greek text.
    ^D
