 To move a piece, you can drag it with the left mouse button, or you
 can click the left mouse button once on the piece, then once more on
-the destination square.  To drop a new piece on a square (when
-applicable), press the middle or the right mouse button over the
-square and select from the pop-up menu.  In cases where you can drop
-either a white or black piece, use the middle button (or shift+right)
-for white and the right button (or shift+middle) for black.  When you
-are playing a bughouse game on an Internet Chess Server, a list of the
-off-board pieces that each player has available is shown in the window
