Thanks zpcspm and Matt. Your steps worked. The Bazaar installer =did= install the command line version (by default), and even offered (by default) to modify the Windows PATH (which it did) so it would find bzr.exe. Even though Chapter 1 recommends installing a friendly GUI, the command line does seem simpler. But Bazaar Explorer is much cooler. :D
The third option suggested by Matt, getting the snapshots from http://www.greygreen.org/leo, seems even simpler as it doesn't involve installing Bazaar at all. Depending on what happens with a standalone installer bundling everything together (Python, Qt, Leo), this might be the best option for newbies. It's also quicker to download -- 7MB zipped, 24MB unzipped, vs. 73MB-76MB using bzr/Bazaar Explorer. For now I'm going to play with all three options and see what works out best. I'll keep Newbie Notes as I go along so Chapter 1 could be updated if desired. >Bazaar Explorer > Get source from elsewhere > branch > From: lp:leo-editor > To: D:/Code/Leo (yes forward slashes are legal, in python) The "From: lp:leo-editor" (a non-file path) was key. Because there was a standard Windows "browse" button, I thought this meant it =had= to be already downloaded, which is what I was trying to do (catch 22). So I thought using "Get source from elsewhere..." couldn't be the right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
