+\subsection*{Getting Started with Isabelle}
+
+If you have not done so already, download and install Isabelle
+from \url{http://isabelle.in.tum.de}. You can start it by clicking
+on the application icon. This will launch Isabelle's
+user interface based on the text editor \concept{jedit}. Below you see
+a typical example snapshot of a jedit session. At this point we merely explain
+the layout of the window, not its contents.

+\end{center}
+The upper part of the window shows the input typed by the user, i.e.\ the
+gradually growing Isabelle text of definitions, theorems, proofs, etc.  The
+interface processes the user input automatically while it is typed, just like
+modern Java IDEs.  Isabelle's response to the user input is shown in the
+lower part of the window. You can examine the response to any input phrase
+by clicking on that phrase or by hovering over underlined text.
+
+This should suffice to get started with the jedit interface.
+Now you need to learn what to type into it.

 If you want to apply what you have learned about Isabelle we recommend you
 donwload and read the book
