-  This book is a reference to the ooDialog classes and the methods of those classes. There is little
-  documentation for the newcomer on how to get started using ooDialog. Until that type of documentation
-  can be written, the sample ooDialog programs that accompany the ooRexx distribution are probably the
-  best source of help in getting started.  However, there are also numerous snippets of example code in
-  this book.
+  ooDialog is a <emphasis role="italic">framework</emphasis> that helps the ooRexx programmers to add
+  graphical elements to their Rexx progamms. The framework provides the base infrastructure, through a
+  number of classes, that the programmer builds on to quickly produce Windows dialogs. This book is a
+  reference to the ooDialog classes, methods, and utilities that make up the base infrastructure.
