-To colour a region, click on an existing region of the desired
-colour and drag that colour into the new region.
+To colour a region, click the left mouse button on an existing
+region of the desired colour and drag that colour into the new
+region.
(The program will always ensure the starting puzzle has at least one
region of each colour, so that this is always possible!)
If you need to clear a region, you can drag from an empty region, or
from the puzzle boundary if there are no empty regions left.
+Dragging a colour using the \e{right} mouse button will stipple the
+region in that colour, which you can use as a note to yourself that
+you think the region \e{might} be that colour. A region can contain
+stipples in multiple colours at once. (This is often useful at the
+harder difficulty levels.)
+
+If you press L during play, the game will toggle display of a number
+in each region of the map. This is useful if you want to discuss a
+particular puzzle instance with a friend \dash having an unambiguous
+name for each region is much easier than trying to refer to them all
+by names such as \q{the one down and right of the brown one on the
+top border}.

where you clicked.
+If you use the \q{Solve} function on this game, the program will
+compute a path through the grid which collects all the remaining
+gems and returns to the current position. A hint arrow will appear
+on the ball indicating the direction in which you should move to
+begin on this path. If you then move in that direction, the arrow
+will update to indicate the next direction on the path. You can also
+press Space to automatically move in the direction of the hint
+arrow. If you move in a different direction from the one shown by
+the arrow, the hint arrows will stop appearing because you have
+strayed from the provided path; you can then use \q{Solve} again to
+generate a new path if you want to.

+You have a grid of squares, some of which contain trees. Your aim is
+to place tents in some of the remaining squares, in such a way that
+the following conditions are met:
+
+\b There are exactly as many tents as trees.
+
+\b The tents and trees can be matched up in such a way that each
+tent is directly adjacent (horizontally or vertically, but not
+diagonally) to its own tree. However, a tent may be adjacent to
+other trees as well as its own.
+
+\b No two tents are adjacent horizontally, vertically \e{or
+diagonally}.
+
+\b The number of tents in each row, and in each column, matches the
+numbers given round the sides of the grid.
+
+This puzzle can be found in several places on the Internet, and was
+brought to my attention by e-mail. I don't know who I should credit
