+<div align="center"><b>Gnome Multimedia Key's</b><br>Version: 0.1</div>
+
+<p>
+<b>About:</b><br>
+This script will allow the use of keyboard multimedia keys in Gnome 2.18 and above (eg. ubuntu feisty) to control playback. This includes most multimedia buttons found on many laptops.<br>
+Currently supported operations are:<br>
+<pre> Play/Pause
+ Pause
+ Stop
+ Next Track
+ Previous Track
+</pre></p>
+<p>
+<b>Usage:</b><br>
+Simply run the script, no configuration of the script itself is required.<br>The desired keyboard shortcuts can be configured by selecting <i>"System-->Prefrences-->Keyboard Shortcuts"</i> from the Gnome pannel.
+</p>
