+<para>Currently, &konqueror; supports &Netscape; 4.x plugins.</para>
+
+<para>Selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>
+Configure Konqueror...</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Plugins</guimenuitem>
+</menuchoice> will give you a dialog box with two tabbed pages;
+<guilabel>Scan</guilabel> and <guilabel>Plugins</guilabel>.</para>
+
+<para>The <guilabel>Scan</guilabel> page controls how &kde; scans for new
+&Netscape; plugins, either manually by pressing the <guibutton>Scan for New
+Plugins</guibutton> button or automatically each time &kde; starts up.</para>
+	
+<para>The scan is done by looking through the folders listed in the
+<guilabel>Scan Folders</guilabel> list for <literal
+role="extension">.so</literal> files containing plugin code. It examines every
+such file to find out which <acronym>MIME</acronym> types the plugin
+supports. It then creates <acronym>MIME</acronym> type definitions for &kde; in
+the user's <filename class="directory"> ~/.kde/share/mimelnk</filename>
+folder to make other applications aware of them.</para>
+
+<para>The <guilabel>Plugins</guilabel> page shows you the &Netscape; plugins
+that &kde; has found, and for each plugin it lists the <acronym>MIME</acronym>
+types and the filename suffixes it uses to recognize them.</para>
+
+<para>The dialog box also contains a checkbox <guilabel>
+Enable plugins globally</guilabel> which you can use to enable or disable 
+plugins that can be contained in <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages (these can 
+be considered a security risk).</para>

+information may be obtained by looking through the <guimenuitem>Konqueror
