Re: please write Android beginner instructions

All I know is no matter if the user hits
i runs the command Info-index
s runs the command Info-search
and types in "Android"
(Info-index "Android")
(Info-search "Android")
he ends up at
(info "(tramp) Android shell setup")

True, if he does
(Info-index "adb")
(Info-search "adb")
he will end up at
(info "(tramp) External methods")
but that still is no "quick start guide". The user still has to learn
what an "External method" is, etc.

OK. At the beginning of the manual add a

  0 Quick Start Guide
    0.1 Android
    0.2 ...
    0.7 Windows

    0.1 Android
    ===========
    C-x C-f /adb::

Just like most paper instruction manuals these days include a Quick Start Guide.

MA> Btw, even (require 'tramp) is not needed. Proper autoloads shall do the job.

OK do mention that in the INSTALL file and (info "(tramp) Load paths").
