I don't suggest that we "explain the w bit", for Windows users.
My suggestion is to:
1. State that `chmod' does not apply, in general, to MS Windows.
(If you want to say why - no such bits etc., fine, but that's
not really needed, IMO.)
2. State that you can use `chmod' to make a file writable or
read-only. And say how to do so.
