Q: How do I use "torsion general"?
A: Thanks for pointing out the lack of documentation on this. I'll make a note to
add some.
You need to click on the torsion-general icon, then click 4 atoms that describe
the torsion - the first atom will be the base (non moving) part of the atom
tree, on clicking the 4th atom a dialog will pop up with a "Reverse" button [1].
Move this dialog out of the way and then left mouse click and drag in the main
window will rotate the moving/"top" part of the residue round the clicked atoms
2 and 3.  When you are happy, click "Accept".
Window focus may be an issue - depending on your setting, the window manager may
eat one of your clicks as you change focus between the dialog and the main
graphics window (this I find annoying and there are instructions in the FAQ on
how to turn that off for various systems).
[1] which may not work in 0.6-pre (grumble/sigh/sorry).  If it doesn't not work,
the "Reverse" button should invert the moving and "base" part of the residue.
