To actually use the client, enable the web interface by writing a port
number (like "8080") into a file named $HERE/webport and then restarting the
- node with 'allmydata-tahoe restart --basedir $HERE'. This will prompt the
+ node with 'allmydata-tahoe restart --basedir $HERE'. This will prompt the
client node to run a webserver on the desired port, through which you can

A client node directory can also be created without installing the code
first. Just use 'make create-client', and a new directory named 'CLIENTDIR'
