Yes. It's probably more common to use "*" instead of ".". "*" is a
wildcard. It depends on what you want to happen. "XTerm*font:", with
the "*", has the side effect of setting the font on the menus, while
setting "XTerm.scrollBar:"  does nothing at all -- you really want to
set "XTerm*scrollBar:" or "XTerm.VT100.scrollBar:"

Yes.

You shouldn't have to do that! If you don't want to set
"${XENVIRONMENT}", you could simply run "xrdb" again. You could also
test your settings one at a time, from the command line, like

    xterm -xrm 'XTerm*scrollBar: true'
