I'm kinda slow - how do you select a guy? I can pan the screen and click on a fellow but he doesn't seem selected (the square doesn't light up as the
instructions indicate).  Also the instructions seem to indicate that we
should use the "windows flag" button in a combination. That simply opens up
the start menu.


You can only command those people who are Aware (those which have kind of a fighting stance, not those whose hands are simply down at their sides or perhaps up in the air). There's only one of those in the beginning, so it's up to you to move that one guy around to help make others Aware.

The Windows flag button is a special key. If you have an Aware selected and hold down the windows button and click on another person, be it human or zombie, it will Order that Aware to perform a context-sensitive action automatically (Windows-click again on that Aware to cancel an Order). If you hold down the Windows button and then press an arrow key, you'll command every Aware to move forward (based on their current facing) by their maximum movement points.

Hmm. Or at least that's how the Windows key is supposed to be used. It appears that you're right -- the Windows key will simply open up the start menu. That's a good catch that needs looking into.
