+.SS FOLDERS
+The file \fIfolders.conf\fR contains the definitions of folders that can be used
+in the "Edit timer" menu. Each line contains one folder definition. Leading whitespace
+and everything after and including a '#' is ignored. A line ending with '{'
+defines a sub folder (i.e. a folder that contains other folders), and a line
+consisting of only '}' ends the definition of a sub folder.

+Example:

+Note that these folder definitions are only used to set the file name under which
+a timer will store its recording. Changing these definitions in any way has no
+effect on existing timers or recordings.
 .SS COMMANDS
 The file \fIcommands.conf\fR contains the definitions of commands that can
 be executed from the \fBvdr\fR main menu's "Commands" option.
