The complete documentation is included with the source (it's that big!).
I'm tempted to write a quick start HTML document since I've explained
how to set it up so many times (not that I'm claiming I know all, even
some of the features, enough to get you rolling anyway).

Web Explorer is broken, so is MSIE (2 and 3) in regards to reloading
via any proxy server. A REFRESH sends a 304 request to the original
site to check modification dates - providing the original site has
set them.
From memory, Netscape's reload isn't that strict either. A plain reload
will just recollect the objects from the proxy server (if available),
which the forced ("shift reload") does the full box n dice reload.
