 You will need to run the B<buildkit> command several times with different subcommands to step through the process of building a kit:
 
-The following example illustrates the basic process for building a new Kit. It assumes that each subcommand will operate in the current working directory.  You could specify a different location by using the "B<-l>|B<--kitloc> I<directory>"  option.
+By default the B<buildkit> subcommands will operate in the current working directory, (ie. look for files, create directories etc.).  You could specify a different location by using the "B<-l | --kitloc> I<directory>" option.
 
-In this example we are building a Kit named "mytstkit".
+The kit I<location> is the full path name of the directory that contains the kit files, including the kit basename. You would use the same location value for all the buildkit subcommands.
+
+For example, to create a new kit named "prodkit" in the directory /home/mykits/ I<either> run:
+ 
+B<cd /home/mykits>
+
+B<buildkit create prodkit> 
+  
+or
+	
+B<buidkit create prodkit -l /home/mykits/prodkit>
+	 
+In both cases the /home/mykits/prodkit directory is created and the inital files for the kit are created in that directory.

+The following example illustrates the basic process for building a new Kit. In this example we are building a Kit named "mytstkit".
