xrdb is used to set resources in the resource manager so that you don't have
to have seperate default files for every machine that might use.  I'm not sure
how to go about doing this.

If I want to run a client on a Sun and a Mac, and be able to have seperate
width, height, and font resources for both machines, how do I go about
specifying this with xrdb?  Is it based on the current DISPLAY value?  What
if they specify the display value on the command line of an application?
How does xrdb know when to use resources speicified for the Mac and resources
speicified for the Sun?

Thanks.
