 and begins another one (or closes the window); in particular,
 \q{Restart Game} does \e{not} destroy the \c{game_ui}.
 
-\c{game_ui} is useful for implementing user-interface state which is
-not part of \c{game_state}. Common examples are keyboard control
-(you wouldn't want to have to separately Undo through every cursor
-motion) and mouse dragging. See \k{writing-keyboard-cursor} and
-\k{writing-howto-dragging}, respectively, for more details.
+There are various things that you might store in \c{game_ui}, which
+are conceptually different from each other, but I haven't yet found a
+need to split them out into smaller sub-structures for different
+purposes:
 
-Another use for \c{game_ui} is to store highly persistent data such
-as the Mines death counter. This is conceptually rather different:
-where the Net cursor position was \e{not important enough} to
-preserve for the player to restore by Undo, the Mines death counter
-is \e{too important} to permit the player to revert by Undo!
+\dt Transient UI state:
 
-A final use for \c{game_ui} is to pass information to the redraw
-function about recent changes to the game state. This is used in
-Mines, for example, to indicate whether a requested \q{flash} should
-be a white flash for victory or a red flash for defeat; see
-\k{writing-flash-types}.
+\dd Storing a piece of UI state in \c{game_state} means that you can
+only update it by appending a move to the undo chain. Some UI state
+shouldn't really be treated this way. For example, if your puzzle has
+a keyboard-controlled cursor, you probably don't want every cursor
+movement to be an undoable action, because the history of where the
+cursor went just isn't interesting. More likely the cursor should just
+move freely, and the only undoable actions are the ones where you
+modify the element under the cursor. So you'd store the cursor
+position in \c{game_ui} rather than \c{game_state}. See
+\k{writing-keyboard-cursor} for more details.
+
+\lcont{ Another example of this is the state of an ongoing mouse drag.
+If there's an undoable action involved, it will probably occur when
+the drag is released. In between, you still need to store state that
+the redraw function will use to update the display \dash and that can
+live in \c{game_ui}. See \k{writing-howto-dragging} for more details
+of this. }
+
+\dt Persistent UI state:
+
+\dd An example of this is the counter of deaths in Mines or Inertia.
+This shouldn't be reverted by pressing Undo, for the opposite reason
+to the cursor position: the cursor position is too boring to store the
+history of, but the deaths counter is too \e{important}!
+
+\dt Information about recent changes to the game state:
+
+\dd This is used in Mines, for example, to indicate whether a
+requested \q{flash} should be a white flash for victory or a red flash
+for defeat; see \k{writing-flash-types}.
+
+\dt User preferences:
+
+\dd Any user preference about display or UI handled by
+\cw{get_prefs()} and \cw{set_prefs()} will need to live in
+\c{game_ui}, because that's the structure that those functions access.

+
+This function should only deal with fields of \c{game_ui} that are

+This should be an identifying keyword for the user preference in
