+    <title>Creating a new database</title>
+
+    <p>When <app>Pybliographic</app> is opened, you  can immediately begin
+    to create a new database. The type of this database will be determined
+    when you will save it the first time.</p>
+
+    <p>To add a new entry, you can use the <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
+        <gui>Add</gui></guiseq> menu, directly the <gui>Add</gui> 
+        toolbar button or click with the right button in the list window 
+        and select <gui>Add</gui>.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>You will find more information on the main window's usage in
+      <link xref="gui-navigating"/>.</p>

+    <title>Navigating in the entries</title>
+    
+    <p>Once you have opened a  database, or started to create a new one, the
+      main window (see <link xref="figmain" />) displays a list of all the
+      entries on the top part of it. The fields displayed here can be configured
+      under the <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> 
+      menu item.</p>
+
+    <note style="tip">
+    <p>It is possible to display two types of combined fields: 
+      <em>-author/editor</em> and <em>-author/title-</em>.
+    </p>
+    </note>
+
+    <p>Clicking on an entry displays its full content on the lower part of 
+      the window. It is also possible to use the arrow keys to navigate in the 
+      upper list.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>If an entry contains an <em>URL</em> field, clicking on the small
+      button next to the url, the appropriate application is launched to view
+      the target object (e.g. PDF viewer for pdf files, web browser for http
+      address). See <link xref="gui-edit"/> about how to add an URL field to 
+      an entry. Alternatively, you can open the URL with the help of the 
+      <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Resource</gui></guiseq> submenu item or the
+      <guiseq><gui>Resource</gui></guiseq> pop up menu provided for the item list.
+      If an item contains one or more viewable fields (like url) containing
+      viewable resources, it is marked with an icon at the left edge of the
+      item in the upper part of the main window (see <link href="figmain" />).
+    </p>
+
+    <note style="tip">
+    <p>You can set the viewable fields and the applications used to view
+       the resources in the <gui>Resource</gui> tab under the
+       <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> menu.
+    </p>
+    </note>
+
+    
+    <p>Clicking on an entry while pressing the <key>Shift</key> key
+      extends the selection to the clicked entry. A click while pressing
+      the <key>Control</key> key toggles the entry without altering the
+      state of the rest of the selection. With copy and paste, or by
+      drag and drop you can copy one or more selected entries into a
+      new window or database.</p>
+
+     <p><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/main.png">
+     The main window
+     </media></p>
+
+     <p>Clicking the right button of the mouse in the list opens a
+      contextual menu. With this menu you can:</p>
+    
+    <list>
+      <item>
+	<p>add a new entry</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>edit the currently selected items</p>

+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>delete the currently selected items</p>
+      </item>
+    </list>
+    
+    <p>Note that some  of these menu options can  be disabled for a
+      given database or entry,  provided that the corresponding action
+      can't be  performed.</p>
+    
+    <p>By clicking  on the column  titles of the list,  you'll sort
+      the entries according to the corresponding field.</p>

+    <title>Sorting</title>
+
+    <p>Clicking on the title of each column in the main index
+    provides some rudimentary way of sorting a database. A much
+    powerful method is to open the sort dialog (in <guiseq>
+    <gui>Edit</gui><gui>Sort</gui></guiseq>). This menu, displayed in
+    <link xref="figsort" />, gives a list of fields which can be used as sort       
+    criterions, plus a flag indicating how they are currently used. By clicking
+    twice on the item, it is possible to choose how the field will be used:
+      <list>
+	<item>
+	  <p>Nothing means the field is not in use.</p>
+	</item>
+	<item>
+	  <p>A <em>triangle</em>-like symbol means sort in
+	    <em>ascending order</em>.</p>
+	</item>
+	<item>
+	  <p>An <em>upside down triangle</em>-like symbol
+             means sort in <em>descending order</em>.</p>
+	</item>
+      </list>
+    </p>
+    <p>The order in which the sorting is performed depends on the
+    order in the list. To modify this order, simply drag and drop an
+    item to change its position. To make this sort order default, it 
+    can be saved by clicking on the <gui>Set as default</gui> 
+    button.</p>

+	<title>The Graphical Interface</title>
+
+  <p>The graphical user interface is called <app>Pybliographic</app>. It
+    provides a simple access to the most common features of the underlying
+    engine, <app>Pybliographer</app> and lets you search, sort and modify
+    bibliographic entries. Moreover, direct insertion of references into 
+    <link href="http://www.lyx.org/"; type="http"><app>Lyx</app></link> and
+    <link href="http://kile.sourceforge.net/"; type="http"><app>Kile</app></link>,
+    direct queries on Medline, and saving selected references in different
