Xdefaults error

Hi,

I have the following .Xdefaults file:

$ cat .Xdefaults
xterm*VT100.Translations: #override \n\
              <Key>F11: string("anonymous") \n\
              <Key>F12: string("set DISPLAY=32.32.23.23:0")

as I'm trying to figure out how to map keys to "strings". However when I 
start up an xterm now I get the following error:

$ xterm
Warning: translation table syntax error: Modifier or '<' expected
'arning: ... found while parsing '
Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors


but if I do:

$ xrdb -merge .Xdefaults

it works fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

JS.
