-ArcStraightener has settings that represent the arc interpolation settings for the firmwares that are implemented.  The parameters accepted vary by firmware type and version.  ArcStraightener will not accept any parameters that will not work with the selected firmware and version.  It can also provide a list of available settings and the defaults by firmware type and version.
+Once ArcStraightener (or ArcStraightener.exe for Windows) is downloaded and copied to your machine, you can execute it in the following form:
 
-ArcStraightener also uses the [TCLAP Templatized C++ Command Line Parser](https://github.com/mirror/tclap) for implementing the arguments.
+```
+{Path_To_Arc_Straightener} {Options_Parameters} {Source_Path} {Optional_Target_Path}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can put the source and (optional) target path first:
+
+
+```
+{Path_To_Arc_Straightener} {Source_Path} {Optional_Target_Path} {Options_Parameters}
+```
+
+
+**Important Note:** By Default, ArcStraightener will process your gcode using the latest version of Marlin 2's arc interpolation algorithm using the default firmware settings.  See the --firmware-type and --firmware-version parameters for information about supported firmware types and versions.
+
+**Overwriting the source file**
+
+If you want to overwrite the source file, no target path is needed.  For example, if you are running the Windows version from the root of your C drive and want to weld a file called C:\thing.aw.gcode, you could run the following command from the terminal:
+
+```
+C:\ArcStraightener.exe C:\thing.aw.gcode
+```
+
+That will replace thing.aw.gcode with a welded version of the file.
+
+**Creating a new file**
+
+If you want your original file preserved, you can specify a target path.
+
+Windows example:
+
+```
+ArcStraightener thing.aw.gcode thing.gcode
+```
+
+Linux/Raspbian example:
+```
+./ArcStraightener thing.aw.gcode thing.gcode
+```
+
+That would create a new file called thing.gcode and would leave the thing.aw.gcode file alone.
+
+You can also supply a path for the source and target gcode files:
+
+```
+ArcStraightener c:\my_gcode\thing.aw.gcode c:\my_gcode\arc_welded_files\thing.gcode
+```
+
+Note:  You may need to enclose the paths in quotes, for example, if there are any spaces:
+```
+ArcStraightener "c:\my_gcode\thing with spaces.aw.gcode" "c:\my_gcode\arc_welded_files\thing with spaces.gcode"
