+# Wpq
+
+_Wpq_ is the WikiPedia Query tool.  It allows you to look up a term
+and disambiguate if necessary, using Wikipedia's API to open pages
+directly in your `$browser` or show you the PDF file in **page(1)**.
+
+# Usage
+
+Let's say we've been reading PC stuff and just learned about the A20
+line.  We go ahead and ask wpq for more info about it:
+
+	% wpq a20
+
+However, _a20_ by itself is too ambiguous, so we'll get a list of
+possible subjects for us to choose manually:
+
+```
+% wpq a20
+1) A20
+2) A20 line
+3) A20 road (England)
+4) A202 road
+5) A20 autoroute
+6) A201 road
+7) A206 road
+8) A20 heavy tank
+9) A200 road
+10) A20 cells
+[1-10]: 
+```
+
+We are only interested in the A20 line, so we go ahead and type the
+index number corresponding to the entry:
+
+```
+% wpq a20
+1) A20
+2) A20 line
+…
+[1-10]: 2
+```
+
+And by default this will open up the article in **page(1)** after
+fetching it with **hget(1)**.  If instead you want to see it in your
+`$browser`, pass the `-h` flag to _wpq_, and it will plumb the URL.
