+<chapter><title>Today</title>
+<para>
+The Today application is a convenient way to view both the appointments from the Calendar and the tasks from the
+Todo application for the current day, as well as seeing what e-mail is available.  It provides no interface for editing your
+appointments, or your tasks, but if you click the icon of the application, it will be launched.  For those familiar with
+PocketPC, this is similar to the Today application included with that.
+</para>
+<section><title>Configuration</title>
+<para>
+You can configure the Today application by pressing the wrench icon in the bottom left corner of the window.  This will 
+open the configuration dialog, from which you can change various settings related to display, amongst other things.
+</para>
+<section><title>Calendar</title>
+<para>
+The Calendar tab in the configuration dialog lets you change the settings for how your appointments should be displayed.  
+</para>
+<para>
+The first field allows you to select the number of appointments to be shown in the Calendar section of the application.  
+If you add more appointments, you will be taking away screen space from the other sections.
+The "Should location be shown?" is for determining exactly that.  If checked, the location field of the appointment 
+will be shown in the Today main view.
+"Show only later appoinmtnets" will only show appointments that begin after the current time.
+Finally, if the "Should the notes be shown" checkbox is checked, then the notes for each appointment will be visible 
+in the main view.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Tasks</title>
+<para>
+The Tasks tab lets you change how tasks are displayed in the Today main view.
+</para>
+<para>
+The first field lets you chose how many tasks to display in the main view.  The more that are shown, the more space 
+is taken from the other categories.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section><title>Miscellaneous</title>
+<para>
+The Misc. tab allows you to set global settings that affect the entire application.
+</para>
+<para>
+The "Clip after how many letters" field lets you change the number of characters from each appointment or task that 
+are displayed in the main view.  The "Should today be autostarted on resume" checkbox lets you set whether or not 
+the Today application should be started each time you resume from a suspend or not.<note><para>This only works 
+if you have a full installation of Opie.  If you are running Today on some other environment (Qtopia, for example) 
+this feature will not work.</para></note>The final field, "Activate autostart after how many minutes", lets you set 
+the number of minutes that the device must be suspended before the Today application will start automatically on 
+resume.  For instance, if this is set to 5, and you suspend the device for 3 minutes, when you resume the device, the 
+Today application will not start automatically.  However, if it is set to 5 and you leave the device in the suspend state 
+for 6 minutes, then Today will be started automatically upon resume.
