Author Setting the icon for an xterm from the command line

I would like to be able to specify a specific icon for some xterms that
I start.

When I type:
xterm -xrm '*iconName: /vol/museprd/xref/icons/ChIMP.xbm'
I get the default xterm icon.

However, if I use the mini-utility xseticon (something posted to usenet
about 7 yrs ago), it can dynamically set the icon of the xterm at that
point.
So I know the icon file is okay.
So, what is the magic incantation for the command line...

Any particular OS and/or window manager?
