		46	you can enter and edit text there.
		47
		48	Special key bindings apply to the playing area. It needs to be focused to
		49	work. If it doesn't have the focus, it will be tinted in red, in that case
		50	you can focus it by clicking into it.
		51
		52	The following keys are available in the playing area:
		53
		54	=over 4
		55
		56	=item B<F1>..B<F9> - open various dialogs (use the right mouse button menu to see which).

		74	If you press the Alt-Modifier together with a Cursor/Arrow-Key, then you
