You can simply include your idl_resource.file in DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT in
your SYS$LOGIN (home) directory --- IDL 4 already does for lots of
HYPERHELP resources. This is also where you would put the
idl*olh_text_width and _height resources, and so on.

You will have to exit your X session and log in again for the changes
to take effect, je crois.

Good luck,
