+.SH NAME
+makeSH \- a .SH script maker
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B makeSH
+.I files
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I MakeSH
+examines one or more scripts and produces a .SH file that, when run under sh,
+will produce the original script.
+The .SH script so produced has two sections containing code destined for
+the output.
+The first section has variable substitutions performed on it (taking values
+from config.sh), while the second section does not.
+MakeSH does not know which variables you want to have substituted, so it puts
+the whole script into the second section.
+It's up to you to insert any variable substitutions in the first section
+for any values you want from config.sh.
+.PP
+You should run
+.I makeSH
+from within your top-level directory and use the relative path to the file
+as an argument, so that the "Extracting ..." line printed while running
+the produced .SH file later on will give that same path.

+.SH BUGS
+It could assume that variables from metaconfig's Glossary need to be
+initialized in the first section, but I'm too lazy to make it do that.
