I don't remember if the manual's available anywhere, but the most important things are probably:
  • Left-click on an object to examine it.
  • Right-click on an object to use it, or - if possible - pick it up.
  • Move the cursor to the top of the screen to display the inventory.
  • Press the F5 key to open the "control panel" dialog, which is where you save, restore, etc.

...or you could use this great site to read the manual, where it is available in German and English:
