+=== Creating multiple jobs ===
+
+The '''--stdin''' option lets you create many jobs in a single invocation of the '''create_work''' script,
+greatly increasing the efficiency of creating large batches of jobs.
+
+Descriptions of the jobs are read from standard input.
+Each line specifies a job, and may include the following options:
+ --command_line "x":: the command line
+ --wu_name::: the job name
+ --broadcast, --target_host, etc.:: [AssignedWork assign or broadcast this job].
+
+The remaining items specify input files:
+either physical filenames, or '''--remote_file''' arguments as described aboe.
