+"#Chapter 10: Pattern "
+"\n"
+"You have a grid of squares, which must all be filled in either black "
+"or white. Beside each row of the grid are listed the lengths of the "
+"runs of black squares on that row; above each column are listed the "
+"lengths of the runs of black squares in that column. Your aim is to "
+"fill in the entire grid black or white. "
+"\n"
+"I first saw this puzzle form around 1995, under the name "
+"`nonograms'. I've seen it in various places since then, under "
+"different names. "
+"\n"
+"Normally, puzzles of this type turn out to be a meaningful picture "
+"of something once you've solved them. However, since this version "
+"generates the puzzles automatically, they will just look like random "
+"groupings of squares. (One user has suggested that this is actually "
+"a _good_ thing, since it prevents you from guessing the colour of "
+"squares based on the picture, and forces you to use logic instead.) "
+"The advantage, though, is that you never run out of them. "
+"\n"
+"\n#10.1 Pattern controls "
+"\n"
+"This game is played with the mouse. "
+"\n"
+"Left-click in a square to colour it black. Right-click to colour it "
+"white. If you make a mistake, you can middle-click, or hold down "
+"Shift while clicking with any button, to colour the square in the "
+"default grey (meaning `undecided') again. "
+"\n"
+"You can click and drag with the left or right mouse button to colour "
+"a vertical or horizontal line of squares black or white at a time "
+"(respectively). If you click and drag with the middle button, or "
+"with Shift held down, you can colour a whole rectangle of squares "
+"grey. "
+"\n"
+"You can also move around the grid with the cursor keys. Pressing the "
+"return key will cycle the current cell through empty, then black, "
+"then white, then empty, and the space bar does the same cycle in "
+"reverse. "
+"\n"
+"Moving the cursor while holding Control will colour the moved-over "
+"squares black. Holding Shift will colour the moved-over squares "
+"white, and holding both will colour them grey. "
+"\n"
+"(All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available.) "
+"\n"
+"\n#10.2 Pattern parameters "
+"\n"
+"The only options available from the `Custom...' option on the `Type' "
+"menu are _Width_ and _Height_, which are self-explanatory. "
+"\n"
