 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.I XWin is an X Server for the X Window System on the Cygwin environment
+\fIXWin\fP is an X Server for the X Window System on the Cygwin environment
 running on Microsoft Windows.
 
 
 .SH MODES
-\fIXWin\fP can operate in five different and incompatible modes:
+\fIXWin\fP can operate in 3 different modes:
 .br
-* \fISingle Window\fP: This is the default option.  The X server
-appears as a single Windows window and all X windows are contained
-within this window.  This mode requires an external window manager.
-.br
-* \fINo Decoration\fP: This mode is like single window mode except
-that the X server window does not have a title bar or border, thus
-maximizing the amount of space available for X windows within the X
-server window.  This mode requires an external window manager.
-.br
-* \fIFull Screen\fP: This mode is like single window mode except that
-the X server window takes the full screen, covering completely the
-Windows desktop.  This mode requires an external window manager.
-.br
-* \fIRootless\fP: The X server works on a window covering the whole
-screen but the root window (traditionally covered with an X hatch
-pattern) is hidden from view.  This mode requires an external window
-manager.
+* \fISingle Window\fP: This is the default mode.  Each X screen
+appears as a single \fIWindows\fP window and all X windows are contained
+within this window.
+(In X terminology, the \fIWindows\fP window contains the root window for
+the screen)
 .br
 * \fIMulti-Window\fP: In this mode \fIXWin\fP uses its own integrated
 window manager in order to handle the top-level X windows, in such a
-way that they appear as normal Windows windows.
+way that they appear as normal \fIWindows\fP windows.
+.br
+* \fIRootless\fP: In this mode the X server works in a window
+containing the whole screen but this root window (traditionally covered with an X hatch
+pattern) is hidden from view, so only top-level X windows are seen.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+In addition to the normal server options described in the \fIXserver(1)\fP
+manual page, \fIXWin\fP accepts the following command line switches,
+\fIall\fP of which are optional:
+
+.SH OPTIONS CONTROLLING WINDOWING MODE
+Only one of these options may be specified.
+.TP 8
+.B (default)
+Windowed or rooted mode.
+Each X screen appears as a single \fIWindows\fP window and all X windows are
+contained within those windows.
+.TP 8
+.B \-multiwindow
+Each top-level X window appears in its own \fIWindows\fP window.
+Also start the integrated \fIWindows\fP-based window manager.
+.TP 8
+.B \-rootless
+Run the server in rootless mode.
+The X server works on a window covering the whole screen but the root window
+is hidden from view.
+.TP 8
+.B \-mwextwm
+Experimental.
+The mode combines \fB\-rootless\fP mode drawing with native \fIWindows\fP
+window frames managed by the experimental external window manager \fIxwinwm\fP.
 .PP
-NOTE: \fIMulti-Window\fP mode will crash if an external window manager
-such as \fItwm\fP or \fIfvwm\fP is launched since \fIMulti-Window\fP
-uses its own internal window manager; all other modes require an
-external window manager in order to move, resize, and perform other
+\fBNOTE:\fP \fI-multiwindow\fP mode uses its own internal window manager.
+All other modes require an external window manager in order to move, resize, and perform other
 operations on the individual X windows.
 
+.SH OPTIONS FOR SPECIFYING X SCREENS
+An X display may be composed of multiple screens.
+The default behaviour is to create a single screen 0 that is roughly the
+size of useful area of the primary monitor (allowing for any window
+decorations and the task-bar).
 
-.SH LOG
-As it runs \fIXWin\fP writes messages indicating the most relevant events
-to  the console
-from which it was called and to a log file that by default is located at \fI
-__logdir__/XWin.0.log\fP.  This file is mainly for debugging purposes.
+Screen specific parameters, such as \fB\-fullscreen\fP, can be applied as a
+default to all screens by placing those screen specific parameters
+before any \fB\-screen\fP parameter.  Screen specific parameters placed after
+the first \fB\-screen\fP parameter will apply only to the immediately
+preceeding \fB\-screen\fP parameter.
+.TP 8
+.B \-[no]multimonitors or \-[no]multiplemonitors
+Create a screen 0 that covers all monitors [the primary monitor] on a system with
+multiple monitors.
+This option is currently enabled by default in \fB\-multiwindow\fP mode.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-screen \fIscreen_number\fP [\fIW\fP \fIH\fP [\fIX\fP \fIY\fP] | [[\fIW\fPx\fIH\fP[+\fIX\fP+\fIY\fP]][@\fIM\fP]] ] "
+Create screen number
+.I screen_number
+and optionally specify it's
+.I height,
+.I width
+and
+.I initial position.
+Additionally a
+.I
+monitor number
+(which count from 1) can be specified to place the screen on,
+at which point, all coordinates become relative to that monitor.
+Screen numbers must be contiguous starting from zero and cannot be duplicated.
 
+Examples:
 
-.SH PREFERENCES FILE
-On startup \fIXWin\fP looks for the file \fI$HOME/.XWinrc\fP or, if
-the previous file does not exist, \fI
-__sysconfdir__/X11/system.XWinrc\fP.  \fI.XWinrc\fP allows setting
-preferences for the following:
-.br
-1- To include items into the menu associated with the \fIXWin\fP icon
-which is in the \fIWindows\fP system tray.  This functions in all
-modes that have a tray icon.
-.br
-2- To include items in the menu which is associated with the Windows
-window that \fIXWin -multiwindow\fP produces for each top-level X
-window.  That can be done both for the generic case and for particular
-programs.
-.br
-3- To change the icon that is associated to the Windows window that
-\fIXWin -multiwindow\fP produces for each top-level X-window.  Again,
-that can be done both for the generic case and for particular
-programs.
