+<chapter><title>IrDA Applet</title>
+<para>
+The IrDA Applet provides a GUI for easilly controlling communication between your device and others using the IrDA
+protocol. You can use it to communicate with PalmOS based devices, cell phones, and almost anything else that
+can use infra red to communicate.
+</para>
+<section><title>Starting IrDA</title>
+<para>
+To start IrDA, click the IrDA Applet icon in the taskbar, and select "Enable IrDA". The icon should then turn red, and
+clicking the icon should then bring up a larger menu. If this does not happen, you do not have the IrDA modules installed
+properly on you device. Make sure you install the IrDA driver package for the device and distribution that you are using.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Recieving Files</title>
+<para>
+If you want to recieve files like images or contact information from another device, you need to tell your device to
+start looking for other devices. Do this by clicking on the IrDA Applet icon and selectiong "Enable Discovery". A
+green dot should appear in the upper right hand corner of the IrDA Applet icon. Then select "Enable Recieve" from
+the applet's menu, and a white box should appear in the bottom left corner of the IrDA Applet's icon. You can then
+have the other device send the file, and Opie should recieve it and open the file in whatever application is
+appropriate.
+</para>
+<para>
+When you are done recieving files, you will want to select "Disable Recieve" and "Disable Discovery" from the
+IrDA Applet's menu so that you are not wasting system resources.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Stoping IrDA</title>
+<para>
+Sometimes it is necessary to stop IrDA, usually so that you can use the IR port for another application. To do this,
+select "Disable IrDA" from the IrDA applet's menu.
