Insetting the "game window" into a frame with a panel to display the manual might be useful too. The resolution of the game doesn't need to be high (it'd probably make the lovely paintings look a bit odd if it was too large!) and that screen real estate could be used to provide "note paper" panes (I make a lot of notes when I was playing!) and a pane with a searchable manual (ala MS Help Files).
Just a thought!
