the pen is the hardest tool to use in any gfx program i find, but with practice you will get used to it.
if you hold the left mouse button while dragging, u create "handles" that give u curves. these can be manipulated to suit your style, by using the "handle" ends to drag and position the curve.
if im not mistaken, i think the button u mentioned is made with the "rectangle" feature, where you can tweak the corners etc.. so one side is rounded and one stays sharp.
