I have an example xterm translation file I could E-mail out to you that
sets up vt100 translations. Let me know if this would be helpful.

All Xresources can be set on a per client basis by bringing up a
particular instance of that client with a "-name" option and then
assigning a resource based on that name rather than client class name.
An example of this would be to bring up an xterm window with the following
command:

xterm -name Console

and then set a resource based on that client name with

Console*loginShell: true

Then that resource setting would only take effect for a client with
that name. Unfortunately if you bring up an instance of an xclock and
give it a "-name Console" option this resource will apply to it also.
