+== Configuration of Proteios SE Access to External Programs ==
+
+Proteios SE supports use of some external programs for processing data files. The benefit of running
+the analysis from Proteios SE is that several data files may be selected for an analysis using
+the same parameters, and the result files will be automatically uploaded to Proteios SE.
+Some external programs are accessed via a web site, while others are typically installed on
+a local server. Proteios SE configuration settings for external programs are stored in
+text files named `*.properties`, stored in directory `WEB-INF/classes/` in your Proteios SE installation.
+Template files for the configuration files are stored in the same directory with names ending in
+`.properties.in`. These files contain information on the available parameters.
+
+=== Search Engine Configuration - General ===
 
 There are several search engines that can be accessed directly from Proteios SE. The server administrator needs to edit the configuration files of these to point to the right URLs. Furthermore, for the Proteios SE results combination of multiple search engines, exactly the same databases need to be installed for the different search engines, with a random/reverse part that has a specific prefix for all the random entries.
