 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-OSSP rc is a run command processor.
+OSSP rc is a run command processor. It applies the script code associated with
+a given section label to one or more given commands. The command(s) must each
+have entries in the form rc.<command> including script code grouped into
+sections. OSSP rc references these command entries by reading the
+configuration file (see FILES) and searching the directory where the command
+entries reside.
+
+Each section of script code extends a type of functionality described by its
+section label. This label is the same one given before the desired command(s).
+Although only one section is possible for each call to OSSP rc, many
+`commands' can follow the section label. This allows for an abbreviated input
+format when calling the same script section of many commands. An example of
+this is given in (EXAMPLES.)
