+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>&konsolekalendar; is a command line interface to &kde; calendars.
+It lets you view, insert, remove, or modify calendar events by way of
+the command line or from a scripting language.
+Additionally, &konsolekalendar; can create a new &kde; calendar,
+export a &kde; calendar to a variety of other formats, and
+import another &kde; calendar.</para>
+
+<para>In its basic mode, &konsolekalendar; displays the list of
+events in your default calendar for the current day (from 7:00 to 17:00).</para>
+
+<para>Main features of &konsolekalendar;:

+
+<para>&konsolekalendar; is <emphasis>not</emphasis> another graphical
+user interface to a &kde; calendar (i.e. &korganizer;). &konsolekalendar;
+is intended solely for uses where a graphical user interface is
+not practical or possible.</para>
+
+<para>&konsolekalendar; does <emphasis>not</emphasis> provide a full-featured
+language for making queries of the user's calendar: nor is it the intention
+of the authors to ever write such a capability. Primitive command line
+options are provided for accessing calendar events within a consecutive
+range of dates/time stamps.

+<title>Features</title>
+<para>In this chapter you'll learn about the main features of
+&konsolekalendar; and how to control them using the command line parameters
+(remember that &konsolekalendar; is not a graphical user interface;
+it is a command line program only).</para>
+
+<para>
+You'll learn about inserting, deleting, and changing
+calendar events, and how to export events to other file formats.
+The creation and importation of &kde; calendars will also be covered

+Calendar entries to be removed are specified exactly by their Unique-string

+Compiling &kde; 3.2.x</ulink> for complete instructions.</para>
+
+<para>If you cannot obtain a suitable precompiled binary package, you
+need to compile &konsolekalendar; yourself from source files. Get the source
+package file <filename>kdepim-x.x.tar.bz2</filename>.
+Unpack it in a new folder using a command similar to

+change to the folder which has been created.</para>

+<note><para>If you have more than one version of &kde; installed
+(e.g. &kde;2 and &kde;3), this may possibly install &konsolekalendar; into the
+wrong &kde; folder. If necessary, you can give the &kde; folder
+as a parameter to
+<userinput><command>./configure</command></userinput>. For example,
