+.SH NAME
+kturtle \- an educational Logo programming environment
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kturtle
+.RI "[ " generic-options " ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBKTurtle\fP is an educational programming environment using the Logo
+programming language. It tries to make programming as easy and
+accessible as possible. This makes KTurtle suitable for teaching kids
+the basics of mathematics, geometry and programming.
+.PP
+The commands used to program are in the style of the Logo programming
+language. The unique feature of Logo is that the commands are often
+translated into the speaking language of the programmer.
+.PP
+KTurtle is named after "the turtle" that plays a central role in the
+programming environment. The user programs the turtle, using the Logo
+commands, to draw a picture on the canvas.
+.PP
+Note that this version of Logo is only focused on the educational
+qualities of the programming language and will not try to suit
+professional programmers' needs.
+.PP
+This application is part of the official TDE edutainment module.
