-							When the dialogue box appears, choose your file/folder and enter your tracker address, comments and private status.
+							1) Pull down 'Save To:' and select a folder where you want your new .torrent specification file to be created.  
+								(You can move it later if you want.)
 						</p>
 						<p>
-							Once you are done, click 'New'. Transmission will automatically optimize the torrent file for what you are sharing.
+							2) To share (i.e. transmit) an entire folder of files, choose 'Source folder:' and select a folder.  
+								All files in that folder will be shared in the torrent.  
+								Alternatively, to share a single file, choose 'Source file:' and select a filename.
+									(Later you can adjust where these source files are located 
+										by right clicking on the torrent and selecting 'Change location...'.  
+									The files and pointers to them will be relocated to where you specify.)

+							3) Enter the URL of one or more public or private Trackers that you have permission to use.  
+								Their address will look something like this: (http//domain:portnumber/announce).
+									A BitTorrent tracker is a web service that regulates the communication 
+										between those downloading and uploading torrents. 
+									You will need at least one reference to a torrent tracker.  
+									(This list can be later edited in the torrent 'Properties' window under the 'Trackers' tab.)
+						</p>

+							4) Optionally enter a public 'Comment' to be attached to the torrent.
+								This is a seen by you and those who download the torrent.
+						</p>
+						<p>
+							5) Optionally check the 'Private torrent' box to use a private torrent tracker.  
+								Private trackers are not for better privacy, but rather for better performance.  
+								They are not open to just anyone to use.
+								This sets a flag in the info dict that marks that the client should only talk to the tracker listed 
+								(and not also talk directly to other peers).
+						</p>
+						<p>
+							6) Once you are done be sure to click 'New'. 
+								If you click 'Close' it will cancel the operation.
+								Transmission will automatically optimize the torrent file for what you are sharing.
