+<para>&ktimer; allows you to enter several tasks and to set a timer for each of them.
+When the timer reaches zero, the task is executed. The timers for each task can be started,
+stopped, changed, or looped.</para>

+
+<para>To start, first add a task by selecting <guibutton>New</guibutton>. Then type the
+command you wish to execute into the <guilabel>Command line:</guilabel> box. You can then
+adjust the settings, or start the timer countdown. When the time is up, the command
+will be run.</para>

+<screeninfo>Here's a screenshot of &ktimer; after you have told it to run &konqueror;.</screeninfo>

+
+<para>Let's use &konqueror; as an example. By default, &konqueror; will start in 100 seconds
+after the timer countdown is started.</para>

+<screeninfo>Here it is counting down: in 56 seconds &konqueror; will be run.</screeninfo>

+
+<para>Now let's start the task. Here it has been running for a bit and is partway through the
+countdown. In 56 seconds, &konqueror; will be started.</para>
+
+<para>See that sliding bar? You can use it to quickly increase or decrease the amount of time
+on a task.</para>

+    </textobject>
+  </mediaobject>
+</screenshot>
+
+<para>Now two &konqueror;s are scheduled to be run. The top one will be run in 20 seconds,
+and the bottom one is currently stopped. You can add more commands. While you can never have
+too many &konqueror;s, you probably want to use other executables. Your own shell script, perhaps.</para>
