CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP
        One mouse convention in Ascendancy is the help-click. A help-
click is  performed  by holding down one of the SHiFT keys  on your keyboard
while clicking the mouse.
        Help-clicking on any window or area will cause help for that
window or area to be displayed.
        You can help-click on almost any object in the game to receive
information about that object.

EXIT CORNERS
        Moving a mouse to any extreme corner of the screen causes
an exit button to appear.  Clicking while this button is displayed will exit
the  current  screen to the previous one.   Pressing <ESC> is  equivalent to
clicking an exit corner.
