+<b>Notes for using the file chooser under Windows and Mac OS X</b><p>
+
+dvdisaster uses the <a href="http://www.gtk.org">GTK+</a> user interface toolkit
+which makes sure that it runs on many different operating systems. Since the
+GTK+ file chooser behaves differently from its Windows and Mac OS X counterparts (which we
+can't use), a small introduction is included further down this page.
+Please note that creating the Windows or Mac OS X version would have required
+a huge effort without GTK+ - we would probably just have concentrated 
+on doing the GNU/Linux version instead ;-)<p>

+<b>Choosing existing files.</b>
+The areas marked <font color="#008000">green</font> are used for choosing existing files.
+Directories are picked and navigated in the left half of the dialog; the files
+contained are shown and selectable in the right half.</b><p>
+
+<b>Choosing a name and location for new files.</b> 
+First choose a directory for the new file using the
+<font color="#008000">green</font> area in the left half of the dialog.
+Then enter the name for the new file in the 
+text field marked <font color="0000A0">blue</font>. 
+To double check that you are creating the file in the right place please review
+the "Selection:" caption of the <font color="0000A0">blue</font> field; it contains the
+drive letter and directory path under which the new file will be created.<p>
+
+<b>Switching between partitions ("drive letters").</b>
+
+The available partitions are listed in 
+the <font color="#e0b000">yellow</font> marked area. If the currently selected drive
+contains lots of subdirectories you might have to scroll down to see the
+drive letters.<p>
+
+<b>Going back to the parent directory.</b>
+Click on the two dots (..) marked <font color="#a00000">red</font>
+to go back one directory level. All directories leading up to the current one
+are contained in the drop down menu centered at the top of the dialog
+(also marked <font color="#a00000">red</font>). 
+Note that this drop down menu is <i>not</i> used for switching drive letters;
+please use the <font color="#e0b000">yellow</font> part of the selection for that.
