+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>Computer users have a very large amount of data to manage, some of
+which is sensitive.  In particular, you will typically have many passwords
+to manage.  Remembering them is difficult, writing them down on paper or in
+a text file is insecure, and using tools such at PGP is tedious and
+inconvenient.</para>
+
+<para>&tdewallet; saves this sensitive data for you in a strongly encrypted
+file, accessible by all applications, and protected with a master
+password that you define.</para>
+
+<tip>
+<para>&tdewallet; supports multiple wallets, so 
+for the most secure operation, you should use one wallet for local
+passwords, and another for network passwords and form data.  You can
+configure this behavior in the &tdewallet; &kcontrolcenter; module, however
+the default setting is to store everything in one wallet.</para>
+</tip>
+
+<para>A wallet is by default closed, which means that you must supply
+a password to open it. Once the wallet is opened, the contents can
+be accessed.</para>
+
+</chapter>
+
+<chapter id="tdewalletmanager">
+<title>&tdewalletmanager;</title>
+
+<para>&tdewalletmanager; serves a number of functions.  Firstly it allows you to see if
+any wallets are open, which wallets those are, and which applications are
+using each wallet.  You can disconnect an application's access to a wallet
+from within the &tdewalletmanager;.</para>
+
+<para>You may also manage the wallets installed on the system, creating and
+deleting wallets and manipulating their contents (changing keys, ...).</para>
+
+<para>Normally the &tdewalletmanager; application is launched when
+&kde; starts and remains in iconic form in the system tray. Alternatively, 
+when a wallet is opened, the &tdewalletmanager; application will be
+launched.  A system tray icon indicates that a wallet is open:
+ <mediaobject>
+   <imageobject>
+     <imagedata fileref="cr22-action-wallet_open.png"/>
+   </imageobject>
+ </mediaobject>
+
+When all
+wallets are closed, the icon will reflect this by showing a closed
+wallet:
+<mediaobject>
+ <imageobject>
+     <imagedata fileref="cr22-action-wallet_closed.png"/>
+  </imageobject>
+ </mediaobject> 
+
+</para>
+
+<para>Click once on the system tray wallet icon to display the &tdewalletmanager;
+window showing all available wallets as icons which reflect their
+current status, either open or closed.</para>

+of the wallet to be displayed in a new window where you can
+add, delete, or modify the contents of the wallet. You may also 
+double click the wallet icon to cause it to open. If the wallet
+is not already open, you will be requested to enter the password.

+<title>The Wallet Window</title>
+
+<para>Double clicking on a wallet in the &tdewalletmanager; window will open a new
+window displaying that wallet's contents. A wallet may contain any number
+of folders, which allow storing of password information. By default a wallet
+will contain folders named Form Data and Passwords.
+</para>
+
+<para>The window has four panes:</para>

+<para>Folders may be added or deleted, and selecting a folder will update

+<para>Entries may also be created or deleted via the context menu for the
+folder contents.</para>
+
+<para>All folders and entries may be dragged and dropped into other wallets
+or folders respectively.  This allows a user to easily package up a new
+wallet for transfer to another environment.  For instance, a new wallet
+could be created and copied onto a removable flash memory device.  Important
+passwords could be transferred there, so you have them available in other
+locations.</para>
