Resources to set when TEXT appears INVISIBLE

If you start FrameMaker and the pages appear to be empty, and/or the
ruler is not visible, the problem may be with the with allocation of
color resources in your login session.  You may have a very colorful
background, or may use a wide variety of colors for the various
applications you run.  In order to get around this you should add the
following lines to your .Xresources file:

Maker.colorDocs:                False
Maker*winRect.foreground:       black
Maker*docBackground:            white


The first time you add these lines you will need to reload your Xresources by typing:

	xrdb -load ~/.Xresources

and then restart FrameMaker.  For more information on using the
.Xresources file, look at the stock answer under the XWINDOWS topic.
