+matrix.py is a little launcher tool that knows about the GridInfo
+protocol. it expects the grid coordinates to be passed as a
+command line argument either as a "matrix:" or as an "opensim:" style
+URI:
+
+        matrix://osgrid.org:8002/
+
+you can also provide region/X/Y/Z coordinates:
+
+        matrix://osgrid.org:8002/Wright%20Plaza/128/50/75
+
+and, it also understands avatar names and passwords:
+
+        matrix://mr%20smart:secretpassword@osgrid.org:8002/Wright%20Plaza/128/50/75
+
+when you run it the first time, it will complain about a missing
+.matrixcfg file --- this is needed so that it can remember where your
+secondlife client lives on your box. to generate that file, simply run

+        matrix.py --secondlife path-to-your-secondlife-client-executable
