          <p style="margin-left: 0.20in">There are two ways to insert pages with the ExperienceUI.  The first - and easiest - way is via the ${Page} command.  This command handles all but two of the pages in the ExperienceUI, and plus it is very easy to learn and understand.  You <i>must</i> include XPUI.nsh before inserting pages.</p>

	           <b>A note on page defines:</b> When you define a custom string, it is usually applied to the installer only.  To make a custom string that applies to the uninstaller, define the string as normal, but add UN after the XPUI_ part of the define.  An example would be XPUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_TITLE becomes XPUI_<b>UN</b>COMPONENTSPAGE_TITLE.  Note that this does not apply to macros; to insert, for example, the welcome page into your uninstaller, insert XPUI_PAGEMODE_UNINST and then XPUI_PAGE_WELCOME, or just ${UnPage} Welcome.<br>
