 You can run the program by opening this JAR file, or from the command prompt line by running the
 command "java -jar !ScriptBuilder.jar" from inside the ZIP folder.
+
+Script Builder Window
+
+Upon launching the program, you should see the following screen:
+<ScriptBuilder Main Screen>
+
+From this window, the flow of the entire script you're currently working on can be observed. The name of the current file can be found at the top of the window; in the example image it is "untitled1.xml".
+
+Loading a previously existing XML file
+
+From the dropdown menu at the top, select "File > Open". A dialog box will open and ask you to select an existing script. Select your file and press "ok". The file will be loaded into the !ScriptBuilder program and will show up on the main screen.
+
+Starting a new file
+
+From the dropdown menu at the top, select "File > New". The current working file will be set to a new file. The default new-file name is "untitled1.xml", but you will be able to rename the file upon save.
+
+Adding a prefabricated incident
+
+From the dropdown menu at the top, select "Incidents > Load Incident". The Incident Palette Window will open and display a list of prefabricated incidents included with the program. Each incident has an identification number, length, description, and count of associated events. Click the "add" button next to a particular incident to move that incident into the script. The incidents currently in the script will show up in the table at the top of the palette window. Typing a time in the text field below the "add" button (HH:MM:SS) will cause the incident to start at that time when it is added to the script.
