Describe flagging, scrollbars, Help and long steps in the manual

The manual described what the pictures show and missed what this round changed around them: - Rating and flagging gave stars only. The keys (0-5, P, X, U), Flag on the selection bar, judging in develop without moving on, and the flag and stars on the roll's cells had no sentence. - Nothing said the desktop draws scrollbars on the grid, the sidebar, the develop column and Settings, or how the grid's bar is used. - Nothing said how to open Help: the header's Help or F1, and in develop the "?" beside Settings (d9f2596, 380cfda), with its See it links and its Manual button. - Stepping along the roll now goes on past what the roll has loaded (a030bfd); Settings gained the duplicate originals line and the Manual row. index.html is regenerated from the README.
