You can also give resource values on the command line.  Even if there's
no explicit option corresponding to the resource, anything that can be
put in .Xdefaults can be specified with the -xrm option.  For example:

    xterm -xrm '*ttyModes: erase ^H'

So you could easily create an alias or shell script to invoke xterm 
with the right settings.
