     1.4 +This file includes the basic commands you will need to use within each
     1.5 +chapter of your thesis.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +The file chap1.tex is a sample first chapter.  To get started, you may
     1.8 +just want to replace the text and commands in that file as needed.  In
     1.9 +general though, for each new chapter you want to do the following:
    1.10 +
    1.11 +	o Make sure the name has the extension .tex .  Otherwise, you
    1.12 +	can call it anything you want.  For ease of use, all the
    1.13 +	examples use chap1, chap2, etc.
    1.14 +
    1.15 +	o Add a line to the file main.tex that reads:
    1.16 +
    1.17 +	\include{yourfilename}
    1.18 +
    1.19 +	This should not include the .tex extension, because latex
    1.20 +	assumes that is there.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +Basic syntax:
    1.23 +
    1.24 +	o The first line of each chapter should be:
    1.25 +
    1.26 +	\chapter{Chapter Title}
    1.27 +
    1.28 +	o To start a new section (labeled chap#.sec# -- as in 1.1,
    1.29 +	1.2, etc):
    1.30 +
    1.31 +	\section{Section Heading}
    1.32 +
    1.33 +	You can also include subsections:
    1.34 +
    1.35 +	\subsection{Heading}
    1.36 +
    1.37 +
