start adding your notes using the Edit menu and the included key bindings.

- Up and Down scroll through the nodes connected to the current node.
- Instead of Left/Right/Up/Down, you can also use j/l/i/comma.

You cannot currently use the mouse to move around the structure.
+
+
+Node URIs
+=========
+
+Following the Semantic Web and RDF, each node and connection has a URI (more
+accurately an IRI as international characters are supported). Normally,
+Fenfire generates random-looking URIs of the URN-5 type, and hides them
+by displaying the node label instead.
+
+* You can reveal the underlying URI by applying the menu item
+ "Edit -> Remove literal text".
+
+* You can change the underlying URI with "Edit -> Change node's IRI".
+
+ - Full URIs are written in angle brackets: <http://fenfire.org/>
+
+ - URIs under namespaces such as rdfs can be shortened: rdfs:seeAlso
+
+We don't currently provide means to declaring namespaces in addition to those
+that are in a document when it's opened.
+
+
+Linked Data browsing
+====================
+
+* Start by choosing the menu item "File -> Go to IRI" and enter in angle
+ brackets a http URI of a resource available in RDF.
+
+* Use "File -> Load node's IRI" to follow links between documents, that is,
+ load more data from the URI of the current node.
+
+Data loaded from other documents is not saved.
