Very cool. I thought about doing the split box like that, but really
wanted it to feel like you were at a console. That drove a lot of my
decisions.

I've udpate this. The major part is adding the mechanisms that's
goinng to be used to deal with presenting the walkthrough (more

Python, or getting it to play with on your own. I hope to start on the
tutorial portion of the thing this weekend.
