+FocusWriter is a fullscreen, distraction-free word processor
+designed to immerse you as much as possible in your work. 
+The program autosaves your progress, and reloads the last files you
+had open to make it easy to jump back in during your next writing
+session, and has many other features that make it such that only one
+thing matters: your writing.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
