Summary0000806: Can't navigate help menus
DescriptionOn the help screen ("Dwarf Fortress: The Manual"), I can't navigate between menu options. I can press Enter to view the default-selected Introduction, but can see no way to move between the menu options - cursor keys have no effect. The only keys that respond are Escape and semicolon (which gives me the option to start recording).

As a new player, this seems quite a serious problem.
Steps To ReproduceStart game. At main menu, press "?". Pressing the cursor keys, or the number keys, has no effect on which menu item is selected.
Additional InformationI'm playing this on a laptop with no numpad, if that makes any difference to how you were expecting me to navigate a menu.
TagsNo tags attached.

It does, unfortunately. Try this: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/40d:Key_bindings#Laptop_Bindings

This threw me for a loop when I first started playing, too.
