+When you invoke SES in a new buffer, it is divided into cells
+that you can enter data into. You can navigate the cells with
+the arrow keys and add more cells with the tab key. The contents
+of these cells can be numbers, text, or Lisp expressions. (To
+enter text, enclose it in double quotes.)
+
+In an expression, you can use cell coordinates to refer to the
+contents of another cell. For example, you can sum a range of
+cells with `(+ A1 A2 A3)'. There are specialized functions like
+`ses+' (addition for ranges with empty cells), `ses-average' (for
+performing calculations on cells), and `ses-range' and `ses-select'
+\(for extracting ranges of cells).
+
+Each cell also has a print function that controls how it is
+displayed.
+
+Each SES buffer is divided into a print area and a data area.
+Normally, you can simply use SES to look at and manipulate the print
+area, and let SES manage the data area outside the visible region.
+
+See \"ses-example.ses\" (in `data-directory') for an example
+spreadsheet, and the Info node `(ses)Top.'

+In the following, note the separate keymaps for cell editing mode
+and print mode specifications. Key definitions:
