+<p><h3>Install GRASS</h3></p>
-<p>WinGRASS can be lauched from the GRASS Start Menu folder or from the Desktop, clicking on GRASS icon; both options
-dynamically link to grass63.bat file in GRASS root.</p>
+<p>To install GRASS launch WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6-Setup.exe and follow the instructions in it.</p>
-<p>As alternative way, you can launch GRASS from MSYS shell: open MSYS console
-from GRASS Start Menu folder, type <code>grass63</code> and then enter.</p>
+<p>If installed into a directory that has spaces in either its name or the path of directories leading up to it,
+some functionalities of GRASS might be hampered. We would highly appreciate if you tried and reported any problems,
+so that we can fix them. However, if you want to avoid any such issues, we recommend that you choose a simple
+installation path without spaces, such as <code>C:\GRASS</code>.</p>
+<p>The WinGRASS Installer has been made using the OpenSource NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) software, available at:

+
+<p>You have three options for launching GRASS:</p>
+
+<p>The easiest is to click on the GRASS icon in the GRASS Start menu folder or on the Desktop.</p>
+
+<p>If you prefer working in text mode on the command line, you can also launch cmd.exe (Start Menu -> Run command ->
+type <code>cmd.exe</code> and click on Run) and type <code>c:\PathToYourGrassInstallation\grass63.bat -text</code> plus enter.
+If you want to launch the GUI, just type <code>gis.m</code> and then enter.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, if you want to work in a unix/linux-like shell environment, you can launch GRASS from MSYS shell: open MSYS
+from the GRASS Start menu folder, type <code>grass63</code> and then enter.</p>

+<p><h3>New GRASS Python GUI</h3></p>
+
+<p>We would highly appreciate if you also tested the new GRASS Python GUI.</p>
+
+<p>To do that you'll need to install the following additional third-party software components:</p>

+
+<p>Finally, to start GRASS with the new Python GUI, open a MSYS shell, type <code>grass63 -wxpython</code> and then enter.</p>
+
+<p>Please, note that the new GRASS Python GUI is still at a highly experimental stage, and that the
+vector digitizer is disabled in it.</p>
