In case you didn't know, if you some settings most of the time, you
can specify them in ~/.Xdefaults (even if you're not running X). For
example, "-sl 1000" becomes "Rxvt.saveLines: 1000".
Indeed! It never ceases to amaze me how people construct elaborate
command lines with all of these settings when they can much more easily,
and in a much more organized fashion, compose .Xdefaults utilizing
"classes" and passing them in as -name parameters. For example, I have
the following ~/.Xdefaults file:
! Rxvt defaults
! Global
*font: "Lucida Console-*-16"
*font1: "Lucida Console-*-18"
*font2: "Lucida Console-*-20"
*font3:
*font4:
*saveLines: 500
*termName: cygwin
*scrollBar_right: True
*geometry: 80x24
*loginShell: True
! Default

Then I can do rxvt -name Homer and get Homer's settings....
