RE: Very Beginner's Guide

This looks pretty good.  Others have commented on the
spelling.  My only comment is the first few sentences assume
a particular OS and implementation which a beginner using MS
XP and the standard Lilypond binary would find very
perplexing.  I'm not sure how to get round this, but perhaps
a few words about text editors and ways of invoking a lp
compilation would be useful.
