main.xul file
==Minor details==
*First of all, '''How to do a Hello World application using XULRunner''' should be '''How to make a Hello World application using XULRunner'''
* Fixed some spelling errors
==Important things to note==
*First of all, '''How to do a Hello World application using XULRunner''' should be '''How to make a Hello World application using XULRunner'''
* A link to [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner XULRunner runtime package] and mention that they have to download this package to run applications using XULRunner
** [http://www.yorku.ca/abel/liz/mozilla/xuldirs.bat bat that just makes the dirs]
** I think I was over-thinking this tutorial, I started creating a few versions of the batch file, one automatically opens up the files to allow the user to edit (dos/notepad) and I tried creating a batch file to automatically put in text in the files, and I stopped because this is not the right automation for this tutorial. - [http://www.yorku.ca/abel/liz/mozilla/xul.bat bat with file edit] - I don't think it's useful for this tutorial
*When I looked at Since the directory structurewas the first thing I saw when I came to the tutorial, I created the directories and the empty files as well as the directories (which wasn't necessary). It was an inpediment because I had to go back and forthwhen I didn't have to. I could create the files as I go along the tutorial. A couple suggestions:1) In your directory structure, checking if I had you could have links from the files in to the sections of your tutorial that creates the right directories etcfiles with sample coding.*2) User could run the bat file I wrote to create the dir structure so the user doesn't have to go back and forth (it's a little confusing during the first time)* In your tutorial, you are taking the developer through the directory structure to put in the right code in the files, so you shouldn't make the developer create the empty files before hand (when they are making the directory structure).** The This will avoid going back and forth the directory structure is good for reference, but it is a little misleading if inserted at no specific reason (why do we need to create the empty files beforehand? We can create the beginningfiles as we go along.. )***Maybe a diagram Part of the directory structure without files already exist in the beginning? XULRunner runtime package***and then another The directory structure with files at the end of the tutorial? ***or specify to the user that the files can be created as he/she goes along the tutorial?is good for reference though.

First look at the tutorial, it's not as straight forward as I expected it to be, for someone who has no background on XULRunner at all.
