+wiki at:

+However, here's a VERY quick guide to running the installed Qpid broker, omce you have installed it somewhere !

 Running the Broker
 ------------------
 
 To run the broker, set the QPID_HOME environment variable to
-distribution directory and add $QPID_HOME/bin to your PATH. Then run
-the qpid-server shell script or qpid-server.bat batch file to start
-the broker. By default, the broker will use $QPID_HOME/etc to find
+distribution directory and add $QPID_HOME/bin to your PATH. 
+
+Then run the qpid-server shell script or qpid-server.bat batch file to start
+the broker. 
+
+You can then start the broker:
+
+qpid-server
+
+By default, the broker will use $QPID_HOME/etc to find
 the configuration files. You can supply a custom configuration using
