        !             4: Pod \- X-windows based directory user agent.
        !             5: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             6: .B pod
        !             7: [ OPTIONS ]
        !             8: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             9: .PP
        !            10: \fIPod\fR is an x-windows interface to
        !            11: the Quipu implementation of the X500 directory intended for 
        !            12: novice users.
        !            13: .PP
        !            14: X500 is a worldwide directory service providing
        !            15: information on people, places and organizations.
        !            16: As yet it is still in it's infancy and thus the amount
        !            17: of information contained in the directory is limited.
        !            18: The directory can be thought of as an `electronic phonebook'.
        !            19: Like a phonebook,
        !            20: a geographic structure is imposed on the data;
        !            21: no phonebook lists all people in the world in a single alphabetic sequence.
        !            22: It is necessary to have some idea of where a person might be before starting
        !            23: to search for them.
        !            24: The directory is similar;
        !            25: information is held in a hierarchical structure,
        !            26: with data on countries held at the top level of the hierarchy
        !            27: and information on organizations,
        !            28: and the entities contained therein
        !            29: (people,
        !            30: departments etc.),
        !            31: held below this.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: \fIPod\fR relies heavily on the concept of the user 'navigating'
        !            34: around the directory database.
        !            35: 'visiting' entries.
        !            36: At any one time the user occupies a single position in the
        !            37: directory,
        !            38: where this position corresponds to some directory entry,
        !            39: e.g. the country Great Britain.
        !            40: The name of the currently visited entry
        !            41: is shown in the upper right window of
        !            42: \fIpod\fR's main screen.
        !            43: This name has a form similar to that of a postal address,
        !            44: as shown in the example below.
        !            45: .sp

        !            59: system.
        !            60: Information on entries visited is displayed automatically
