+fpGUI Code Templates
+--------------------
+
+This is a directory where you will find fpGUI Code Templates for use with 
+the Lazarus IDE.
+
+
+1) Open the template you want to add to Lazurus. For example basicapp.txt
+
+2) Open the lazarus.dci file with you favourite editor. This is the file that
+   Lazarus uses to store all code templates.  The location of 
+   the lararus.dci is normally as follows:
+
+  Linux:
+    /home/<your user name>/.lazarus/lazarus.dci
+
+3) Copy all the text from the template file you opened in (1).
+
+4) Move to the end of the lazarus.dci file you opened in (2) and paste the 
+   text from the clipboard.
+
+5) Save the lazarus.dci file and you are ready to go!
