+<h2>I have a folder of source code or documents on my computer and I want to use version control to manage it</h2>
+
+<p>To start using version control for a project folder, you need to
+initialise a repository there.  </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. Browse to your folder</p>
+
+<p></b>4. Click OK*</p>
+
+<p>A new repository will be created, stowed into the working folder you
+selected.  It will have an empty history, until you add and commit
+some files.
