 # mktemplate
-
+This script attempts to eliminate user overhead of frequently coping a file to varying locations.
+Mktemplate internally attempts to read a variable called "${MKTEMPLATE_HOME}".
+This variable shall hold the path to the folder where templates are stored.
+"Templates" are just files located at ${MKTEMPLATEHOME}.
+Text files are processed through m4.
