+<chapter><title>Todo</title>
+<para>
+Todo is designed for storing information about things you need to do, but which
+arent going to happen at a specific time, like "change the oil" or "mow the
+lawn". You can also give todo items a deadline, if they have to be completed by
+a certain time.

+<section><title>Adding Tasks</title>
+<para>
+Go to <GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>New Task<GUIMenuItem>, or click
+on the new task icon (blank page). The priority drop down menu lets you select
+the priority of the task. The lower the number, the more important it is. The
+categories behave in much the same way that they do in Calendar, you can select
+the category from the drop down menu, or you can click the "..." button to add,
+delete, or edit categories. To give the task a due date, check the "Due"
+checkbox, and then click the button next to it (it should contain the current
+date). That will open a calendar from which you can select the due date. The
+"Completed" check box is the same as the checkbox next to each item in the main
+view. The "Summary" field is for a short summary that will be visible in the
+main view, as well as in the Today application.  The down arrow next to it will
+copy the text in the "Summary" field into the large text field below it, which
+is used for a more detailed description of the task.  Click "ok" in the upper
+right to add the new task, or "x" to close the window without adding the new
+task.
+</para>

+<section><title>Editing Tasks</title>
+<para>
+To edit a task, you can select it, and then go to
+<GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Edit
+Task</GUIMenuItem>, or click the edit task icon (an image of a pencil). The same
+dialog should apear as if you were adding a task, but the information for that
+task should already be filled in. You can change any of it you want to, and then
+click "ok" in the top right corner to save the changes, or "x" to go back to
+the way it was.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Deleting Tasks</title>
+<para>
+To delete a task, first select it, and then either select
+<GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;
+<GUIMenuItem>Delete...</GUIMenuItem> or press the Delete icon (an image of
+a trash can). A dialog should pop up, asking if you want to delete the task,
+click yes to delete it, or no to cancel.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Finding Tasks</title>
+<para>
+To find a task, either go to
+<GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem>
+, or click the find icon (an image of a green magnifying glass), and a dialog
+should pop up. Enter the text you want to search for in the description, and
+select the category that you want it to search through (this will speed the
+search up, if you know what category it is in). You can also select "case
+sensative" which makes the search pay attention to the case of what you type (so
+if you look for "mow lawn", it won't find a task called "Mow lawn"). "Search
+Backwards" will search backwards from the currently selected task. Click "Find"
+to initiate the search, when it finds a task that matches the string, it will
+select it. If you click Find again, it will find the next one in the list (or
+the previous one, if "Search backwards" is selected).
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Viewing Tasks</title>
+<para>
+To only view tasks filled under certain categories, go to the Category menu, and
+check the categories you want to view. Also, under the Options menu, you can
+select whether or not you want completed tasks to be visible, and whether or not
+you want to see the deadline.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section><title>Completing Tasks</title>
+<para>
+To mark a task as completed without deleting it, you can either check the
+checkbox next to it in the main view, or edit it, and check the "completed"
+check box in the edit dialog. If <GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow;
+<GUIMenuItem>Completed<GUIMenuItem> tasks is not checked, the task will
+disapear when you mark it completed. but do not worry, it is not gone forever,
+just check Completed tasks in the options menu, and you can see and edit it 
+again.
