0030 <para>Components are programs that handle basic tasks, like the web browser, terminal emulator, the file manager, the email client, the electronic map, and the dialer. Different &kde; applications sometimes need to invoke a console emulator, send an email, manage files and folders, show the map or dial a number on your phone.</para>

0033 can select which programs these components are.</para>
