 ## How does it work?
 
-- A python script ([web.py](./web.py)) runs a Reticulum instance and a WebSocket server.
+- A python script ([meshchat.py](./meshchat.py)) runs a Reticulum instance and a WebSocket server.
 - The web page sends and receives LXMF packets encoded in json via the WebSocket.
 - Web Browser -> WebSocket -> Python Reticulum -> (configured interfaces) -> (destination)
 - LXMF messages sent and received are saved to a local SQLite database.
 
 ## How to use it?
