 # How to use:
 
-Put `pyhi.sh` and `pyhp.py` somewhere where your web server can execute them, then configure said web server to execute `.pyh` files using `pyhi.sh`.
+Put `pyhi-cgi.sh` somewhere where the server will execute it as CGI script with the environment variable `PYHP` set to point to `pyhp.py`. If the environment variable is unset, `pyhi-cgi.sh` will try to find `pyhp.py` in the same directory as it itself is. Then configure the web server to run `.pyh` files using `pyhi-cgi.sh` as a cgi script.
+
+Alternatively, put `pyhi.sh` and `pyhp.py` somewhere and run `pyhi.sh` with the `.pyh` file as the first argument. Any other command line arguments will be passed to the `.pyh` file. The same `PYHP` environment variable can be used as described above.
