+.SH CONFIGURATION
+Tasksh piggybacks on Taskwarrior's .taskrc configuration file, and stores
+several settings there. If you use a non-standard location for your .task
+database, and .taskrc file, Tasksh will not find them unless you set the
+TASKDATA and TASKRC environment variables. See 'man taskrc' for more
+details.
