+<para><acronym>WebDAV</acronym> is a <emphasis>D</emphasis>istributed
+<emphasis>A</emphasis>uthoring and <emphasis>V</emphasis>ersioning
+protocol for the World Wide Web. It allows for easy management of
+documents and scripts on a <ulink
+url="help:/tdeioslave/webdav.html">http</ulink> server, and has
+additional features designed to simplify version management amongst
+multiple authors.</para>
+
+<para>Usage of this protocol is simple. Type the location you want to
+view, similar to a <acronym>http</acronym> URL except for the
+webdav:// protocol name at the start. An example is
+<userinput>webdav://<replaceable>www.hostname.com/path/</replaceable></userinput>.
+If you specify a folder name, a list of files and folders will be
+displayed, and you can manipulate these folders and files just as you
+would with any other filesystem.</para>

+<listitem>
+<para>File locking allows users to lock a file, informing others that they
+are
+currently working on this file. This way, editing can be done without fear
+that
+the changes may be overwritten by another person who is also editing the
+same
+document.</para>

+<term>Source file access</term>
+<listitem>
+<para><acronym>WebDAV</acronym> allows access to the script which is called
+to
+produce a specific page, so changes can be made to the script itself.</para>

+
+<para>To take advantage of these additional capabilities, you will need an
+application which supports them. No application currently supports them
+through
+this tdeioslave.</para>
