+@chapter 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.

+@chapter 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:
+
+@table @kbd
+
+@item C-t C-c
+This opens a new XTerm.
+
+@item C-t C-e
+This opens a new EMACS session. You will probably only need to do this
+once.
+
+@item 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 @kbd{C-t C-<n>} where @kbd{<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.
+
+@item C-t C-p
+This jumps you to the previous window in the window list.
+
+@item C-t C-n
+This jumps you to the next window in the window list.
+
+@item C-t C-<n>
+This jumps you to window <n> where <n> is the window number as shown in
+the Program Bar.
+
+@item C-t C-t
+This toggles between the current window and the last window.
+
+@item C-t t
+Sometimes you need to send a C-t to the current window. This keystroke
+does just that.
+
+@item C-t k
+This deletes the current window.
+
+@item C-t K
+This destroys the current window. Normally you should only need to use
+@kbd{C-t k}, but just incase you need to rip the heart out of a
+misbehaving window this command should do the trick.
