+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Ratpoison is a Window Manager without fat library
+dependencies, fancy graphics or rat dependence.
+
+The screen can be split into non-overlapping frames. All
+windows are kept maximized inside their frames.
+
 All interaction with the window manager is done through
-keystrokes.
-.Nm
-has a prefix map to minimize key clobbering.
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width Bs
-.It Fl c , Fl \-command
-Send ratpoison a command.
-There must be a ratpoison instance running as window manager for the
-given display/screen for this to work.
-Do not forget to quote the command if it contains spaces.
-For example:
-.Dl Nm Fl c Qq Ar "echo hello world"
-.It Fl d , Fl \-display Ar display
+keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize
+key clobbering.
