+##  Commands
+## ==========
+
+
+#  Setting a variable
+# --------------------
+#
+# syntax: set <option> = <value>
+# 
+# See below for the list of available variables.
+
+
+#  Defining a new custom field
+# -----------------------------
+#
+# syntax: field <identifier> = <human readable name> [ , <type> ]
+#
+# with <type> being one of 'string' (default), 'emails', 'list', or 'date'
+#
+# Example of field definitions:
+field pager = Pager
+field address_lines = Address, list
+field birthday = Birthday, date
+
+
+#  Defining a view/tab
+# ---------------------
+#
+# view <view name> = <field1> [ , <field2>, ... ]
+#
+# with <fieldN> being the identifier of a field declared with the 'field'
+# command, or the identifier of a standard field.
+#
+# Standard fields:
+#    name, email,
+#    address, address2, city, state, zip, country,
+#    phone, workphone, fax, mobile,
+#    nick, url, notes, anniversary
+#
+# Note: if you don't define any view, abook will use a default display based
+#       on the above standard fields.
+#
+# Example of views:
+view CONTACT = name, email
+view ADDRESS = address_lines, city, state, zip, country
+view PHONE = phone, workphone, pager, mobile, fax
+view OTHER = url, birthday
+
