+rwdschedule is a simple little database  
+
+The GUI interface used is RubyWebDialogs 
+
+RubyWebDialogs is a platform independent graphical user interface for Ruby applications. It generates HTML and serves it with an internal HTTP server, so you can use your favorite web browser as the front end for your Ruby application. All this means, that it can be used on almost every platform, like Ruby itself. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/
+
+== Quick Start
+ Start the program by typing 
+ ruby init.rb
+
+ Then point your web browser to:
+ http://localhost:7705/
+
+Then enter the event date you want to search for in the browser form and press Search.
+  200412december1a
+browser should fill with the event information.
+To exit, press the x inside the browser window.
+
+
+== How to Use the Schedule Book (rwdschedule)
+
+There are two ways to add records to schedule book.
+
+== Adding Records
+
+1. Use the "Edit Event" tab
+      The first field is the most important. It is the filename that
+      will be created. I use the event date starting with yearmonthday
+      2005january11
+
+      The following lines for entry are for you to fill in as you want.
+      When you are finished press the Save Changes button 
+      
+      You use this same screen for editing an already saved event
+
+2. Manually add an entry for a event record
+      You can use a text editor to create a record
+      put information on separate lines. You can have as many lines as you want
+      name the file with starting with date and end with .nam
+      2005january11 6 pm dinner party.nam
+
+      Save your file to the schedules/ subdirectory
+      
+
+== Viewing an schedule book entry:
+
+
+Go to "View event" tab
+
+       Click on the list events button.
+      
+       Click on the date you want
+       
+       Then click the "Open" button
+       
+       If it finds the record it will open it. It displays the record 
+       as text  under the "Open" button.
+
+
+== Event Utilities
+
+Click on "Event Utilites" tab
+
+  You can rename event filenames
+  You can delete events
+  
+== Sync for multiple computers
+
+ If you are like me, you have more than one system
+ I use rwdTinker at home on my Linux laptop
+ at work I use it on XP
+ on the go I use rwdtinker on my Zaurus PDA
+ So I am adding schedule events on different machines.
+ There is  a function to help sync the separate systems
+  
+ in "Selection Panel" click on "Open Schedule Sync Window"
+ 
+ First you need your ftp details set in the
+ configuration/rwdschedule.cnf file
+ 
+ you can upload your events from your local schedules directory to the ftp site
+ you can download events from the ftp site to your local updates directory
+ you can perform a sync which finds remote events and adds them to your local
+ schedules directory
+ 
+ There is a button to delete the update directory when finished
+
+== Show Month
+
+  Click on "Show Month" tab
+   enter 
+    Year: 2005
+    Month: 1
+    Click on show month
+    
+    It will display one month
+

-rwdschedule is a simple little database  
-
-The GUI interface used is RubyWebDialogs 
-
-RubyWebDialogs is a platform independent graphical user interface for Ruby applications. It generates HTML and serves it with an internal HTTP server, so you can use your favorite web browser as the front end for your Ruby application. All this means, that it can be used on almost every platform, like Ruby itself. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/
-
-== Quick Start
- Start the program by typing 
- ruby init.rb
-
- Then point your web browser to:
- http://localhost:7701/
-
-Then enter the event date you want to search for in the browser form and press Search.
-  200412december1a
-browser should fill with the event information.
-To exit, press the x inside the browser window.
-
-== Add Info
-
-  For edits to records go to the contacts utilities tab
-  You can
-    Rename contacts
-    Delete contacts
-    attach photos to contacts
-    
-== Using over a Network
-  
-To serve the application over your local LAN,change the last line in the
-init.rb file to something like:
-RwdTinker.file(RWDFile).serve(8080, "-r" ? ".rwduids" : nil)
-Then you should be able to login at: http://yourhostname:8080
-
-You have to authorize yourself. The .rwuids example is a string with
-the name of the authorization file, relative to the home directory
-of the user that started the service. This file has to be in the form of:
-
-user1 = password
-user2 = pass phrase
-
-Thus the file .rwduids might contain:
-
-erik = secret
-
-== Requirements:
-RubyWebDialogs - I am using 0.0.11 2004-3-9
-
-Ruby I am using version 1.8.2
-
-
-I have tested this under Linux-Debian kernel 2.6.9
-
-== PROBLEMS:
-It is easy to type a date with a space after it. That will have a somewhat invisible space 
-in it.
-
-don't type in the extension .sch
-
-Closing the browser doesn't terminate the application. You have to use the application's close-button  And terminating the application doesn't terminate the application when running in network mode. You just log out.
-
-Don't use the back-button of the browser! Strange and unpredictable things may and will happen!
-

-== Contacts
