+<h2>I want to start a new project using version control</h2>
+
+<p>You can initialise a repository in an empty folder, in order to start
+using version control for a new project:</p>
+
+<p><b>1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open</b></p>
+
+<p><center><img src="images/openfolder50.png"></center></p>
+
+<p><b>2. Select &ldquo;File folder&rdquo; as the thing you want to open</b></p>
+
+<p><b>3. Make a new folder in the file dialog and browse to it</b></p>
+
+<p><b>4. Click OK</b></p>
+
+<p>A new repository will be created, stowed into the empty working folder
+you selected.  At first, it will have an empty history.  You can then
+start to add files and commit changes to your files.
+<ul><li>Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is <b>hg init</b></li></ul>
