Ok, uncle, I give.  I tried the following to be able to set resources
for specfic epoch screens from my .Xresources file, which I load with
xrdb. 

I use the following lisp code to create my window:

  (if running-epoch
      (let ((this-dir default-directory)
            (attr (list 
                           (cons 'class "epochManual")
                           (cons 'name "epochManual")
                           )
                     )
            )
	(if (not (is-screen manual-screen))
	    (setq manual-screen (create-screen "*Manual Entry*" attr))
	  )
..


In my .Xresources file I have:

epoch.epochManual.font:                 -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-*-14-100*
*epochManual*geometry:50x50+0+0

I have tried the following resrouce name permutations:

epoch.epochManual.font
*epochManual.font
*epochManual*font
epoch*epochManual*font
epoch*epochManual.font
epoch.epochManual*font
epochManual*font
epochManual.font

None of these worked.  Yes, I did reload my .Xresources every time.
If you have any ideas, please mail me directly, I don't think I am on
the epoch mailing list.

Thanks.
