+The first two points (base point, second point) determine the axis of the
+principal direction of cutting.  This is done in much the same fashion as
+most of the Rhino commands that need a direction - Extrude (direction),
+Contour, Taper, etc.
+Note that you have several options for the direction here that in V4 are not
+that easy to get to  - you actually need to go through the motions in
+picking the curve, the object to cut and then the two points before these
+options become visible, after which you can set them...  In V5 the command
+flow has been re-organied to be more logical, and those options are
+available at the beginning.
+> and depth cut?
+Once you have determined the principal direction, you can just hit Enter if
+you want to completely cut through the object (in this case there is no
+second direction).  If you want a partial cut, you need to give it a depth
+by picking a point or keyboard entry, then you get the "second cut"
+direction options which are similar to the first.  then you finally get the
+choice of which part you want to cut/keep...
