How does that work? Aren't step-by-step documents "how to do

I know when I'm following step-by-step procedures, I prefer it
to be specific to my case, not a catch-all one with callouts
for other cases melded in.
Some users might just about know they're on Windows but have no
idea what Posix is so won't know to ignore those parts or will at
least be confused and intimidated. The path into using things
needs to be as easy as possible.
