put urxvt settings in .Xdefaults?

I usually run urxvt like such...

urxvt -j +sb -sl 5000 -ip -tint black -sh -100 -g 100x10+2+40

How do I put these settings into .Xdefaults file so that no matter how urxvt is run will pop up the same way?
Thanks for the help.

urxvt*jumpScroll:            true
urxvt*scrollBar:            false
urxvt*saveLines:            5000
urxvt*inheritPixmap:        true
urxvt*tintColor:                        black
urxvt*shading:                    -100
urxvt*geometry:                100x10+2+40

Take a look at the urxvt man page ($ man urxvt) for the entire list of resources (the resource names are listed after the command line options, further down the man page).

Thanks for this, I haven't used a man page in a while and the idea just didn't come to mind, will remember in the future.

No problem. It's a pain reading through those things. I've read through it at least twice to get a good understanding of all of the options, and I still don't know what a bunch are for. I find it easier to use the web version of the man page for scrolling and navigation... and readability (http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.1.html). Have fun.
