Ok, that and Guy's response was very helpful. However, now I'm finding that
this simply doesn't do what that other page describes. After I set it to
Multiply mode, nothing happened. It's been a few hours since I set this up,
and just tried setting that mode now. I made sure I had clicked on the
selected region before setting the mode. What could I have done wrong?

The following shows a small excerpt of what I'm looking at. The yellow
