+Stem comes with a utility called 'run_stem' which takes care of things
+like initalizing Stem with a configuration file and controlling it's 
+operation via various parameters you can pass in as environment 
+variables or command line arguments. 
+
 Stem configuration files are used to create and initialize Stem Cells
-(objects). Stem needs to know the list of directories to search to
-find its configurations files.
+(objects). run_stem can search a path list for config files, so you 
+can set that list of directories here.
 
-Note that the default has a single absolute path. You can test Stem
-configurations easily setting this path when executing run_stem. You
-can override or modify the path time with either a shell environment
+Note that you can easily override this path with either a shell environment
 variable or on the command line of run_stem. See the documentation on
 run_stem for how so do this.
 
-The first directory in the list is where the standard Stem
+The last directory in the list is where the standard and demo Stem
 configuration files will be installed.
 
-Enter a list of absolute directory paths separated by ':'.
+Please enter a list of directory paths separated by ':'.
