+This program calls gaim API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
+If you are not interested in the return value, use gaim-send-async.
+
+Usage:
+
+   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...
+
+This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
+to specify the parameters.  
+
+Examples:
+
+   $0 GaimAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
+   $0 GaimAccountsGetAll
+   $0 GaimCoreQuit
+
+Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
