[Steffens-Jr, Alfred P]

Christophe,

Thank you.  After I have learned how to use GMSH better I would be delighted
to contribute a user's guide.  Thanks again,

Al

You need to follow the instructions that appear in the status bar (just
below the graphics). For example, when you select
Geometry->Elementary->Add->New->Line, you are asked to select a point.
You press 'e' when you're done (in this case after selecting 2 points),
or 'q' to abort the selection. That's it!

PS : We should really make some kind of 'user's guide'... If you like
Gmsh and have good teaching skills, you may perhaps contribute a small
one? :-)

My best,

Christophe
