+<chapter><title>Using Opie</title>
+<para>
+Now that Opie is installed and running, it's time to start using it.  When you
+first start Opie, you will see the "Launcher" from which you can start all of
+your Applications, and the "Taskbar" along the bottom, where you can see all
+the running applications, select an input method, and interact with the
+installed "applets".
+</para>
+
+<section><title>Getting Around</title>
+<para>
+Getting around in Opie is very easy, you simply click your stylus on whatever
+icon or button you want to click on.  The main difference between using the
+stylus and using a mouse is that you cannot right click with a stylus, so things
+that require a right click are kept to a minimum.  However, it is sometimes
+necessary to right click, and this is implemented with a "press and hold".
+Any time you want to do something that you think would require a right click on
+a normal pc, try pressing the stylus down and holding it still for a few
+seconds.  This usually opens up a context sensative menu, much like a right
+click usually does on a desktop interface.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Launcher</title>
+<para>
+The Launcher behaves like the "desktop" on most PC GUIs.  When no applications
+are running or visible, you will have access to the Launcher.  You can also map
+a hardware key to bring the Launcher to the top without closing any of the
+running applications (this is similar to "minimising" all the applications
+that are running).
+</para>
+<para>
+Along the top of the Launcher you will see a list of tabs which function as
+categories for your applications.  You can click on the tab for the category you
+want to view, and then click on the icon for the application that you wish to
+launch.  By default, there will be an Applications tab and a Settings tab (if
+you install any games, they will appear in the Games tab).  When new 
+applications are installed, they will usually appear in one of these three tabs,
+or in a tab of their own.  To add or delete tabs or to move applications between
+the tabs, you can use the Tab Manager application, or you can edit them by hand,
+by changing the directories in /opt/QtPalmtop/apps.
+</para>
+<para>
+There is also a tab to the far right called the "Documents" tab, which allows 
+you to quickly open your most often used documents.  You can click on a document
+to open it up in the proper application.  For help on adding files to the
+Documents tab see the <xref linkend="adddoc">.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Taskbar</title>
+<para>
+Opie has a "Taskbar" that always runs along the bottom of the screen in Opie,
+except for a few "fullscreen" applications that cover it up.  The Taskbar is
+what lets you select which input method you would like to use, shows what
+applications are running, and is also where the "applets" draw their icons.
+On the left of the Taskbar is an "O" button that opens a menu which has an
+entry for every tab in the Launcher, allowing you to star an applications
+without going back to the Launcher, or quiting the application that you are
+running.  On the right hand side of the Taskbar, you will probably see a clock 
+(unless you installed task-opie-minimal), which is actually just another applet
+that draws the time instead of an icon.
+</para>
+<para>
+When an application is run, it adds its icon to the Taskbar, starting from the
+right side of the input method icon, with new application's icons appearing to
+the right.  If you click on the icon for an application, it will be brought to 
+the screen, allowing you to interact with it.
+</para>
+<para>
+To the right of the "O" menu you will see an icon for the currently selected 
+input method.  Clicking this will bring up the input method, allowing you to
+type into the currently running application.  To the right of the input method
+icon is a small arrow pointing up, which will open a menu of all the currently
+installed input methods when clicked.  When you select one of these, it will
+become the current input method, with its icon replacing the previous one.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Dialogs</title>
+<para>
+In Opie, dialogs, as well as some applications, have a button labeled "Ok" on
+the right side of the window title bar, in addition to the normal "x".  For 
+dialogs, the "Ok" button will apply your changes and close the window, while
+the "x" will cancel them before closing the window (for people used to most
+desktop GUI's the "Ok" and "x" behave like the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons
+you would normally see in the bottom right of the dialog window).
+</para>
+<para>
+For applications that have an "Ok" button as well as the "x" button that all
+applications have, the "Ok" button will usually save the current file and then
+close the application, while the "x" button will close the application without
+saving.
