	Download from where? (There are a number of distributions available,
including ones in the M$ "app" store, Visual Studio, etc.)

	"Add Python..." is a step when RUNNING the installer. It should not
appear when DOWNLOADING the installer.

	The general sequence is:

		Download the installer file for the distribution.

		RUN the installer program to install Python (and any other stuff
the distribution includes)

		Hide the installer program/icons -- since they do NOT run Python
itself. Pure Python is run from a command line/shell interface; it is NOT a
graphical IDE.
