  <para>This appendix gives several examples of 
  <filename>useraction.xml</filename> files. With this you can begin
  to discover the power of the &useractions-lnk; and
  start learning how to use them. Once you understand how to write
  UserActions you will find that &krusader; is an even
  more powerful, customizable tool.</para>
  <para>Please consider uploading your UserActions at
  &kde-files-url; as we are collecting them. If your
  UserAction is selected by us it will be shipped with
  &krusader; at the next release. We provide also an
  &useractionsforum-url;.</para>
