Hi again,

Mikeal asked me to list the documentation that I've been looking at.   
Here's what I went through:

http://windmill.osafoundation.org/trac/wiki/BookChapter-1-Install
  * This was all very straightforward, I had no problems here.

http://windmill.osafoundation.org/trac/wiki/BookChapter-2-RunningWindmill
  * Starting the IDE, recording a test, saving it to a .json file was  
fine

http://windmill.osafoundation.org/trac/wiki/BookChapter-5-RunningTests
  * I could work out how to running a saved .json file and see the  
results in the firefox pop-up
  * But I couldn't see the results on the command-line

The thing that I had trouble with was getting test responses back from  
continuous integraton.
  * I tried searching the wiki and got a lot of results: http://windmill.osafoundation.org/trac/search?q=continuous+integration&wiki=on&changeset=on&ticket=on
  * That gave me a lot of pages, some of them evidently obsolete ;-)
  * The references to the tbox execution mode sent me on a bit of a  
wild goose chase; I found that it had been commented out but couldn't  
find out why

Then Mikeal mentioned the use of functest on IRC.

I would suggest that you mention that ability to call from functest on  
chapter 2 as well as chapter 5.
