Ah. I think I'd probably re-state those instructions.

The best bet with that project is to bring up the halos on the 
"Working area" square (either through a mouse click on the second or 
third button, or an Alt-click or Cmd-click). Position your mouse over 
the open area marked "Working area" and get the halos.

You can then click on the dark gray "paint" halo at the right center 
to bring up a painting area on the working area itself.
