+#### Multiple runtime directories
+
+When Helix finds multiple runtime directories it will search through them for files in the
+following order:
+
+1. `runtime/` sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` directory (this is intended for
+ developing and testing helix only).
+2. `runtime/` subdirectory of OS-dependent helix user config directory.
+3. `$HELIX_RUNTIME`.
+4. `runtime/` subdirectory of path to Helix executable.
+
+This order also sets the priority for selecting which file will be used if multiple runtime
+directories have files with the same name.
