+<para>&tde; stores information about your personal settings in a few
+different places:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>The hidden directory <filename>.kde</filename> (note the
+period at the beginning), located in your home directory, contains a
+large number of files that store &tde; settings. Some subdirectories
+you may find useful are:<filename>.kde/share/config</filename>, which
+contains configuration files for individual applications;
+<filename>.kde/Autostart</filename>, which contains links to
+applications which should start each time you start &tde;; and
+<filename>.kde/share/apps/tdeabc</filename>, where your address book is
+stored.</para>
+</listitem>
+<!-- FIXME: Apparently TDEDIR and TDEDIRS are deprecated. I need to -->
+<!-- get the truth on this -->
+<listitem><para>The environment variables <envar>TDEDIR</envar> and
+<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> tell &tde; where its files are stored. You will
+usually only need to set <envar>TDEDIR</envar> to the directory in which
+&tde; is installed, but sometimes you might have other &tde;
+programs installed elsewhere: in this case, you can use the
+<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> environment variable. Set
+<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> to a list of all the directories containing
+&tde; programs, separated by commas. For example, if you have &tde;
+programs in both <filename>/usr/local/kde</filename> and
+<filename>/home/phil/kde</filename>, you can use <userinput>export
+TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use
+<application>bash</application> or <userinput>setenv
+TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use sh.
