I provide examples of how high-resolution x-ray spectra may be used to determine the temperature and emission measure distributions, electron densities, steady and transient flow velocities, and location of active regions in stellar coronae. For each type of measurement I estimate the minimum spectral resolution required to resolve the most useful spectral features. In general, high sensitivity is required to obtain sufficient signal-to-noise to exploit the high spectral resolution. Although difficult, each measurement should be achievable with the instrumentation proposed for AXAF.
