   ABSTRACT
 
-  The OSSP Run-Command Processor is a Duck.
+  OSSP rc is a generic run-command processor. Its primary function is to
+  assemble a temporary script from excerpts of one or more run-commmand
+  files which are built out of text snippets grouped into sections.
+  The user specifies the desired parts to use and also controls the
+  order of assembly. The program is not tied to a particular syntax for
+  neither the run-command section tags nor the contained scripts. By
+  default, the assembled script is executed by a specified interpreter
+  (usually a shell), but it can also be written into a temporary file
+  for evaluation inside a calling shell, or even just printed to stdout
+  for further processing.
