+This option is not availible when a game is in progress.

+from a file created with the editor which is described in <a href="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/editor.html"><b>Brick editor</b></a>.
+This can also be acheived by the keyboard shortcut <b>meta-a</b>.
+If the brick is added successfully, the user is given an id for the brick
+which should be used if the brick is going to be removed from the game again.

+the application is closed.
+<li><b>Remove brick</b><br>

+The user is prompted to enter one of the listed brick id's and in doing so,
