 }}}
 {{{example_cbl}}} is the so-called ''run identifier'' and tells {{{palmrun}}} to use the NAMELIST file {{{example_cbl_p3d}}} from {{{JOBS/example_cbl/INPUT}}}. It also determines folders and names of output files generated by PALM using informations from the default file configuration file {{{..../trunk/SCRIPTS/.palm.iofiles}}}. Chapter .... explains the format of this file and how you can modify or extend it. As a new user, you should not need to care about this file because the default settings should do the job for you.
+
+Option {{{-h}}} specifies the so-called host identifier. It tells {{{palmrun}}} which configuration file should be used. {{{-h default}}} means to use the configuration file {{{.palm.config.default}}}. The configuration file contains all the computer (host) specific settings, e.g. which compiler and compiler options should be used, the pathnames of libraries (e.g. NetCDF or MPI), or the name of the execution command (e.g. {{{mpirun}}} or {{{mpiexec}}}), as well as many other important settings. If the automatic installer worked correctly, it created this file for you with settings based on your responses during the installation process. You may create additional configuration files with different settings for other computers (hosts), or for the same computer, e.g. if you like to compile and run PALM with debug compiler options (see "creating configuration files manually").
+
+Option {{{-a}}} is used for steering the handling of input and output files that are required / generated by PALM. Its argument is called the file activation string. The file configuration file {{{..../trunk/SCRIPTS/.palm.iofiles}}} contains a complete list of PALM's I/O files, one line per file. .....
+
+Option {{{-X}}} specifies on how many cores the simulation shall run. The argument should not be larger than the maximum number of cores available on your computer (except in case of hyperthreading), because that usually slows down the performance significantly.
