 SYNOPSIS
     rxvt [options] [-e command [ args ]]
 DESCRIPTION
-    rxvt-unicode, version 6.3, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
+    rxvt-unicode, version 7.1, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
     as an *xterm*(1) replacement for users who do not require features such
     as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a
     result, rxvt-unicode uses much less swap space -- a significant
     advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
         The colour of the border around the text area and between the
         scrollbar and the text; resource borderColor.
     -fn *fontlist*
         Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font
-        names that are used in turn when trying to display Unicode
+        names that are checked in order when trying to find glyphs for
         characters. The first font defines the cell size for characters;
         other fonts might be smaller, but not (in general) larger. A
         (hopefully) reasonable default font list is always appended to it.
         See resource font for more details.

         decorations; resource borderLess.

         graphics/line drawing characters and just rely on what the specified
         fonts provide. Use this if you have a good font and want to use its
 RESOURCES (available also as long-options)
     Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long options)
     compiled into your version.
-    There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the Xresource
-    data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
-    reader (~/.Xdefaults). For the first method (ie. rxvt -h lists
-    XGetDefaults), you can set and change the resources using X11 tools like

     geometry: *geom*
         Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default
         80x24]; option -geometry.
         scale of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A scale of 2 to 9
         specifies an integer number of images in that direction. No image
         will be magnified beyond 10 times its original size. The maximum
         permitted scale is 1000. [default 0x0+50+50]
-    menu: *file[;tag]*
-        Read in the specified menu file (note the `.menu' extension is
-        optional) and also optionally specify a starting tag to find. See
-        the reference documentation for details on the syntax for the

     font: *fontlist*
         Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font

+        names that are checked in order when trying to find glyphs for

+        (hopefully) reasonable default font list is always appended to it;
+        option -fn.
         Each font can either be a standard X11 core font (XLFD) name, with
         optional prefix "x:" or a Xft font (Compile *xft*), prefixed with
         "xft:".
         available hint currently is "codeset=codeset-name", and this is only
         used for Xft fonts.
         For example, this font resource
-           URxvt*font: 9x15bold,\
+           URxvt.font: 9x15bold,\
                        -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\
                        -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \
                        [codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic:antialias=false, \
                        xft:Code2000:antialias=false
         The string will be interpreted as if typed into the shell as-is.
         Example:
-           URxvt*print-pipe: cat > $(TMPDIR=$HOME mktemp urxvt.XXXXXX)
+           URxvt.print-pipe: cat > $(TMPDIR=$HOME mktemp urxvt.XXXXXX)
         This creates a new file in your home directory with the screen
         contents everytime you hit "Print".
     scrollBar: *boolean*
         xterm, have these sequences enabled by default, which doesn't make
         it safer, though).
         You can enable them by setting this boolean resource or specifying
         -insecure as an option. At the moment, this enables display-answer,
-        locale, findfont, icon label and window title requests as well as
+        locale, findfont, icon label and window title requests.

     modifier: *modifier*
         Set the key to be interpreted as the Meta key to: alt, meta, hyper,
         super, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4, mod5; option -mod.
     answerbackString: *string*
         Specify the reply rxvt-unicode sends to the shell when an ENQ
         (control-E) character is passed through. It may contain escape
         values as described in the entry on keysym following.
-    secondaryScreen: *bool*
+    secondaryScreen: *boolean*
         Turn on/off secondary screen (default enabled).
-    secondaryScroll: *bool*
+    secondaryScroll: *boolean*
         Turn on/off secondary screen scroll (default enabled). If the this
         option is enabled, scrolls on the secondary screen will change the
         scrollback buffer and switching to/from the secondary screen will
         instead scroll the screen up.
-    hold: *bool*
+    hold: *boolean*
         Turn on/off hold window after exit support. If enabled, rxvt will
         not immediately destroy its window when the program executed within
         it exits. Instead, it will wait till it is being killed or closed by
         the user.

 THE SCROLLBAR
     Lines of text that scroll off the top of the rxvt window (resource:
     saveLines) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar or by
     keystrokes. The normal rxvt scrollbar has arrows and its behaviour is
         normal one. In this mode, every selected row becomes its own line in
         the selection, and trailing whitespace is visually underlined and
         removed from the selection.
