Eric, Ben, See if the section "What is interactive mode" makes sense to you. I have just added it to a feature branch (which includes some other faq madifications, mainly moving the backend section from installation to usage), but have not yet generated a pull request. It doesn't go into every detail, or into the underlying machinery. It is intended to provide just enough understanding to clear up user-level confusion about interactive mode, show, and draw, and let most relatively new users get on with their work.
