+<p>One of the most powerful tools in Kig are the menus that you can
+enter by right-clicking on an object, or on some empty space in the
+document. You can use them to give objects names, change their colors
+and line styles, and lots of other interesting things.</p>

+<p>You can construct new points without using the menu or the toolbar, simply

+<p>You can use the selected objects to start the construction of an object
+which requires the selected objects as arguments. For example, if you have two
+points selected, you can choose <em>Start->Circle by Three Points</em> from the
+popup menu to start constructing a circle by three points.</p>

+you can then select from.</p>
