+.Sh NAME
+.Nm osh - OSMORA shell
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+osh [optional file]
+
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+
+OSH is a simple shell interpreter that is capable of executing commands
+from the user via stdin or a shell script file passed as an argument.
+
+.Sh COMMENTS
+OSH supports the use of comments (i.e., pieces of text ignored by the shell)
+denoted by '@'. The following is an example of using comments:
+
+.Bd -literal
+echo hello !! @ Echos the text "hello !!"
+.Ed
+
+.Sh DEFINITIONS
+OSH defines "control operators" as any character(s) reserved by OSH for
+representing specific operations (e.g., background jobs, command repetition, etc):
+
+The
+.Ft '&'
+control operator is used after a command or binary path
+in order to run the executable as a background job, allowing
+the shell to continue immediately. Here is an example of running "sleep" in the background:
+.Bd -literal
+--
+@
+@ Usually this will hang the shell for 5
+@ seconds until sleep wakes up. However,
+@ when we postpend '&', the shell executes
+@ 'sleep' as a background job and continues
+@ as usual.
+@
+sleep 5 &
+--
+.Ed
+
+The
+.Ft '!!'
+control operator is used to repeat the most recently used
+command. This is simply written by itself like this:
+
+.Bd -literal
+--
+echo "hewwo" @ Echo "hewwo"
+!! @ Do it again...
+--
+.Ed
