+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sushi
+.Nd a menu based system administration tool
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+tool gives the user a menu of various system administration tasks that 
+may be performed on the system.  It is designed to be simple enough for a 
+novice to use, and quick enough to help seasoned users perform more 
+complex tasks with ease.
+.Pp
+It is also designed to be easily extended and customizable by the user or 
+administrator.  The menus themselves consist of a number of flat ascii 
+files which are parsed by the
+.Nm
+engine when run.  Commands are actually scripts written by the 
+administrator, and executed from the menu heirarchy.  It is possible to 
+have multiple heirarchies, and even ones private to a particular user on 
+the machine.  These hierarchies are all merged for the user at run-time 
+into a single menu system.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The following environment variables are utilized by
+.Nm :
+.Bl -tag -width "PKG_PATH"
+.It Ev LANG
+Determines the user's current language setting.
+.It Ev PKG_PATH
+This is the default URL for binary packages used when fetching lists 
+of packages available to download.  It is also used when actually 
+downloading those packages.  It defaults to:
+ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages
+.El
+.Pp
+There may be other environment variables utilized by various scripts in the
+.Nm
+menu hierarchy.  This manual page cannot account for those environment 
+variables, however they should be detailed in the help files for each menu.
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width "sushi"
+.It Pa /etc/sushi.conf
+This file is used by sushi to override the default locations searched for 
+menu hierarchies.  It consists of directory names, one per line, that 
+will be searched, in order, for menu hierarchies.  It is not an error to 
+have a non-existant directory listed in this file, as they will simply be 
+skipped over.  The default list of directories searched is printed below, 
+in order:
+.It Pa /usr/share/sushi
+.It Pa /usr/pkg/share/sushi
+.It Pa /usr/X11R6/share/sushi
+.It Pa /etc/sushi
+.It Pa $HOME/sushi
+The $HOME/sushi path, is allways searched, and does not need to appear in 
+the
+.Pa /etc/sushi.conf
+file.  The
+.Pa /etc/sushi.conf
+file will not be parsed for environment variables such as $HOME, so it 
+would likely be an error to include it there.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Pp
+Most of the actual usage of
+.Nm
+is documented in the internal help files, such as commands, and keystrokes
+that are used to navigate the menus.  There is also full documentation in
+the help pages on writing your own menus.  In order to access help, you 
+may hit the F1 key at any time, and if help is available for the current 
+menu, it will be displayed.  It is advised that the user read the help 
+file from the main menu, as it contains most of the navigation, and basic 
+concepts of the
+.Nm
+engine.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr rc.conf 5 ,
+.Xr intro 8 .
+.Sh BUGS
+At the time of this writing, there are a number of display glitches 
+which are currently being worked on.  In addition there are some failure 
+modes that
+.Nm
+does not handle well, such as not finding any menus at all, or not 
+recieving output from an escript field.
