    A keeper, guardian, or soldier who ranges over a region
    to protect the area or enforce the law.
 
-This file browser gives you the ability to swiftly move around
-and get a broad overview of your forest of directory trees.
+Need a fast way of navigating in your shell?  Hate ugly graphical
+environments?  Try this console-based filemanager!
 
-Rangers default hotkeys make it intuitive for users of the popular
-text-editor VIM, but it is fully customizable.
+The multi-column display shows a range of the filesystem, giving you
+a large part of the directory tree to work with, rather than restricting
+you to the current directory only.  Preview the content of the selected
+file or directory, copy or move files around with the VIM-like commands
+dd and yy, execute predefined applications when opening a file, etc...
 
-The program is written in Python since version 1.0.0 and uses
-ncurses for the (completely text based) user interface.
+Everything is fully customizable and written in Python (2.6 and 3.1
+compatible) using curses for the user interface.
