+
+..SH USAGE
+This text is taken verbatim from the AisleRiot Manual V2.12.
+
+Moving the cards is reasonably obvious. Assuming you have a right-handed mouse,
+left-click on a card and drag it somewhere. Release the mouse button to deposit
+the card.
+
+If a card can be moved to the foundation(s), you do not need to drag it. You
+can double-click on it and it will move. If a sequence of cards can be moved to
+the foundations, you can generally move the sequence as one move.
+
+Double clicking a card will send it to a foundation, if that is possible. This
+is useful for cleaning up large numbers of cards at the end of a successful
+game.
+
+In games which have a stock pile you can redeal it by clicking on the empty
+space where it was. Be warned that some games only let you do this a limited
+number of time. Watch for the Redeals Left message at the bottom of the
+window.
+
+A useful tip to know is that right-clicking on a face-up card which is
+partially obscured by a card laid over it will raise it so that you can see
+what it is.
+
+There is an alternative way to move cards. By selecting
+..B Click to move
+from the
+..B Control
+menu you can click once to pick up a card and then click again to place it.
+This can be faster than dragging and will be easier on your hand since you
+don't have to hold the mouse down. However, it may take a while to get used to.
+
+Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For example
+Klondike can be played with either single card deals or three-card deals. In
+these games there is a separate menu with the game's name. You can only change
+the rules of the game at the beginning of the game -- the menu will be
+inactive during the game.
+
+Statistics on how well you have done at a particular game are available by
+selecting
+..B Statistics
+from the Game menu. Only games where you actually start moving cards are
+counted. The statistics are here for your own enjoyment, there are numerous
+ways to cheat and it is unwise to make comparisons.
