+__doc__ = """This is wxSlash 1.0
+
+ It's the obligatory Slashdot.org headlines reader that any modern
+widget set/library must have in order to be taken seriously :-)
+
+ Usage is quite simple; wxSlash attempts to download the 'ultramode.txt'
+file from http://slashdot.org, which contains the headlines in a computer
+friendly format. It then displays said headlines in a wxWindows list control.
+
+ You can read articles using either Python's html library or an external
+browser. Uncheck the 'browser->internal' menu item to use the latter option.
+Use the settings dialog box to set how external browser is started.
+
+ This code is available under the wxWindows license, see elsewhere. If you
+modify this code, be aware of the fact that slashdot.org's maintainer,
+CmdrTaco, explicitly asks 'ultramode.txt' downloaders not to do this
+automatically more than twice per hour. If this feature is abused, CmdrTaco
+may remove the ultramode file completely and that will make a *lot* of people
+unhappy.
+
+ I want to thank Alex Shnitman whose slashes.pl (Perl/GTK) script gave me
+the idea for this applet.
+
+ Have fun with it,
+
