 RFB Session Player 0.7.0
 ========================
 
-RFB Session Player is a Java application/applet for playing back RFB
-session files in FBS format saved by such programs as VNC Reflector or
-rfbproxy.
+RFB Session Player is a Java application/applet for playing back RFB session
+files in FBS format saved by such programs as VNC Reflector or rfbproxy.
 
-Usage:  java RfbPlayer URL file:test.fbs
+Usage:  java RfbPlayer URL file:test.fbs position 5000
         java RfbPlayer URL http://remote.host/sessions/test.fbs
 
 
+Applet Parameters
+=================
+
+--> "URL"
+
+    Value: URL of the session file to play.
+    Default: none (required parameter).
+
+    This parameter tells the player which session file to play. Please note
+    that if the player operates as an unsigned applet, it is able to play
+    only files from the host where the applet was loaded from. It's a usual
+    JVM security limitation.
+
+--> "Position"
+
+    Value: time in milliseconds.
+    Default: 0.
+
+    Set initial time position in the session file, in milliseconds.
+
+--> "Open new window" (applicable only in the applet mode)
+
+    Values: "Yes", "No".
+    Default: "No".
+
+    Operate in a separate window. This makes possible resizing the desktop,
+    and adds scroll bars when necessary. If the server supports variable
+    desktop size, the window will resize automatically when remote desktop
+    size changes.
+
+--> "Show controls"
+
+    Values: "Yes", "No".
+    Default: "Yes".
+
+    Set to "No" if you want to get rid of the control panel at the top. 
+    Please note that hiding the panel in current version makes playback
+    impossible. :-)
+
+--> "Defer screen updates"
+
+    Value: time in milliseconds.
+    Default: "20".
+
+    When updating the desktop contents after reading each update, schedule
+    repaint within the specified number of milliseconds. Small delay helps to
+    coalesce several small updates into one drawing operation, improving CPU
+    usage. Set this parameter to 0 to disable deferred updates.
