+This is just a proof-of-concept example for the rbot webserver dispatch feature.
+This program reads lines of text from the standard input and sends them to a specified irc
+channel or user via rbot. Make sure you enable the webservice dispatch feature
+before use.
+
+The necessary setup is:
+    1) # create a new rbot user ("rmuser", in this example) with a password
+       # ("rmpw", in this example). in an open query to rbot:
+
+       <you> user create rmuser rmpw
+       <rbot> created botuser remote
+
+    2) # add a permission to say for your newly created remote user:
+
+       <you> allow rmuser to do say #channel message
+       <rbot> okies!
+
+    3) # run the #{$0} and type something. the message should
+       # show up on your channel / arrive as an irc private message.
+       
+       [you@yourhost ~]$ ./bin/rbot-remote -u rmuser -p rmpw -d '#your-channel'
+       hello, world!
+       <Ctrl-D>
+       [you@yourhost ~]$
+EOF
