+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{games.signpost}
+
+You have a grid of squares; each square (except the last one)
+contains an arrow, and some squares also contain numbers. Your job
+is to connect the squares to form a continuous list of numbers
+starting at 1 and linked in the direction of the arrows \dash so the
+arrow inside the square with the number 1 will point to the square
+containing the number 2, which will point to the square containing
+the number 3, etc. Each square can be any distance away from the
+previous one, as long as it is somewhere in the direction of the
+arrow.
+
+By convention the first and last numbers are shown; one or more
+interim numbers may also appear at the beginning.

+
+To play Signpost, you connect squares together by dragging from one
+square to another, indicating that they are adjacent in the
+sequence. Drag with the left button from a square to its successor,
+or with the right button from a square to its predecessor.
+
+If you connect together two squares in this way and one of them has
+a number in it, the appropriate number will appear in the other
+square. If you connect two non-numbered squares, they will be
+assigned temporary algebraic labels: on the first occasion, they
+will be labelled \cq{a} and \cq{a+1}, and then \cq{b} and \cq{b+1},
+and so on. Connecting more squares on to the ends of such a chain
+will cause them all to be labelled with the same letter.
+
+When you left-click or right-click in a square, the legal squares to
+connect it to will be shown.
+
+The arrow in each square starts off black, and goes grey once you
+connect the square to its successor. Also, each square which needs a
+predecessor has a small dot in the bottom left corner, which
+vanishes once you link a square to it. So your aim is always to
+connect a square with a black arrow to a square with a dot.
+
+To remove any links for a particular square (both incoming and
+outgoing), left-drag it off the grid. To remove a whole chain,
+right-drag any square in the chain off the grid.
+
+You can also use the cursor keys to move around the grid squares and
+lines. Pressing the return key when over a square starts a link
+operation, and pressing the return key again over a square will
+finish the link, if allowable. Pressing the space bar over a square
+will show the other squares pointing to it, and allow you to form a
+backward link, and pressing the space bar again cancels this.

+\C{range} \i{Range}
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{games.range}
+
+You have a grid of squares; some squares contain numbers. Your job is
+to colour some of the squares black, such that several criteria are
+satisfied:
+
+\b no square with a number is coloured black.
+
+\b no two black squares are adjacent (horizontally or vertically).
+
+\b for any two white squares, there is a path between them using only
+white squares.
+
+\b for each square with a number, that number denotes the number of
+squares reachable from that square going in each direction until
+hitting a wall or a black square.
+
+For instance, a square containing the number one must have four black
+squares as its neighbours by the last criterion; but then it's
+impossible for it to be connected to any outside white square, which
+violates the second to last criterion. So no square will contain the
+number one.
