+About
+*****
+
+ ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library
+dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no flashy
+wank. It is largely modelled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in
+virtual terminal market.
+
+ All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes.
+ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering that cripples
+EMACS and other quality pieces of software.
+
+ You'll also be pleased to hear that there is NO ratpoison.conf to
+configure. If you want to configure ratpoison, edit the source.

+Using ratpoison
+***************
+
+ ratpoison is a very simple window manager. Each window is maximized
+and has no border decorations. Here is a list of commands and what they
+do:
+
+`C-t C-c'
+ This opens a new XTerm.
+
+`C-t C-e'
+ This opens a new EMACS session. You will probably only need to do
+ this once.
+
+`C-t C-w'
+ This displays the Program Bar which displays the windows you
+ currently have running. The number before each window name is used
+ to jump to that window. You can to this by typing `C-t C-<n>'
+ where `<n>' is the number of the window. Note that only windows
+ with numbers from 0 to 9 can be referenced.
+
+ After 5 seconds the Program Bar disappears.
+
+`C-t C-p'
+ This jumps you to the previous window in the window list.
+
+`C-t C-n'
+ This jumps you to the next window in the window list.
+
+`C-t C-<n>'
+ This jumps you to window <n> where <n> is the window number as
+ shown in the Program Bar.
+
+`C-t C-t'
+ This toggles between the current window and the last window.
+
+`C-t t'
+ Sometimes you need to send a C-t to the current window. This
+ keystroke does just that.
+
+`C-t k'
+ This deletes the current window.
+
+`C-t K'
+ This destroys the current window. Normally you should only need to
+ use `C-t k', but just incase you need to rip the heart out of a
+ misbehaving window this command should do the trick.
