+<title>Quick Start</title>
+
+<para>
+This section will describe some of the items on the
+<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu so that you can quickly configure
+&kate; to work the way you want it.
+</para>
+
+<para> When you start &kate; for the first time you'll see two windows
+with white backgrounds. Above the two windows is a toolbar with the
+usual labeled icons. And above that, a menu bar.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The left-hand window is a dockable side bar. It combines the Filelist
+and Fileselector windows. Switch between the two by clicking on the tabs
+at the top of the window. </para>
+
+<para>
+If you've started &kate; with a file, the right-hand window will show
+the file you are editing and the Filelist on the side bar will show the
+name of the file. Use the Fileselector window to open files.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can toggle the Filelist and Fileselector window on and off in
+<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu. This menu offers you your first
+glimpse into &kate;'s power and flexibility. In this section we'll look
+at four items:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><menuchoice><guimenuitem>Show
+Toolbar</guimenuitem></menuchoice></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Toggles the toolbar on and off.

+
+<varlistentry>
+<term>
+<menuchoice>
+<guimenuitem>Show Filelist</guimenuitem>
+</menuchoice>
+</term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Toggles the Filelist on and off. If the Filelist/Fileselector window is
+not open, &kate; launches the side bar as a separate, undocked,
+window. To dock the window grab the two thin parallel lines above the
+tabs by clicking on them with your &LMB; and holding the button
+down. Drag the the window into &kate;'s editing window and release the
+&LMB; when you have positioned the Filelist/Fileselector window as you
+prefer.
+</para>
+
+<tip>
+<para>
+If you have grabbed the two parallel lines successfully your mouse
+pointer will turn into two crossed arrows as you drag.

+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><menuchoice><guimenuitem>Show
+Fileselector</guimenuitem></menuchoice></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Toggles the Fileselector on and off. This menu item is the same as
+<guimenuitem>Show Filelist</guimenuitem> with one difference. Toggling
+it on launches the window with the Fileselector on top.

+<title>Keystroke Commands</title>

+Many of &kate;'s keystroke commands (shortcuts) are configurable by
