Help with xterm command line options

[PowerGod]

In xterm there is an option, "Alt/Numlock modifiers", to manage the numeric keypad keys in different ways, and you can turn it on/off by the "Main options" menu (CTRL+LEFTCLICK) from xterm itself, I need to turn that option OFF from the command line, when I start xterm.

I searched everywhere for examples, but the best resource I found was this page http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uxterm.htm

The option I need seems to be "alwaysUseMods", and seems to be used this way if I understood correctly: "XTerm*vt100.alwaysUseMods: true"

So I tried to run xterm like this:

xterm -xrm 'XTerm*vt100.alwaysUseMods: true'but nothing changes...
Do you know how to set this option from command line ?

Under Slackware, there's a /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm config file.

Ah, not system wide so.

Maybe also ask @ linuxquestions.org for widest harvest ?

Ok found out, I was using the wrong option:

xterm -xrm 'XTerm*VT100.numLock: false'
