At the right hand side are the various things you'll be changing;
Elevation, Rainfall, Temperature, Savagery, Drainage, and Volcanic Activity.

Switch them all to "Not painting" by clicking "currently painting". Then, choose one to paint with by making it "currently painting", choose a value by clicking on the number (its default is 50) and then draw on the map. Tadaah!

When you're done making something really odd, press space twice, to take you back to the generation screen and press Enter to begin. Press 'y' if you don't want to save the changes.

You might also have to change the other options or it will give you a infinite amount of rejections because you don't have X or to many Y. etc.
