 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
 like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
 scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
 fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such
 as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms

 used to brighten or darken the image in addition to tinting it.
 Please note that certain tint colours can be applied on the server-side,
 thus yielding performance gain of two orders of magnitude. These colours are:
 blue, red, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, and those close to them. Also

 You can set and change the resources using X11 tools like B<xrdb>. Many
 distribution do also load settings from the B<~/.Xresources> file when X
 starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will consult the following files/resources in order,
 with later settings overwriting earlier ones:
   1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global
   2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR
   3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults
   4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen
   5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-<nodename>
+  6. resources specified via -xrm on the commandline
 Note that when reading X resources, B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> recognizes two class
 names: B<Rxvt> and B<URxvt>. The class name B<Rxvt> allows resources
 common to both B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> and the original I<rxvt> to be easily
 configured, while the class name B<URxvt> allows resources unique to
