Hi David,

Thanks for this, I think it will indeed help some people to get the feeling
of a hands-on experience by just watching a video.

Some remarks:

   - Video should probably point to a download link, and some very brief
   installation instructions (that is the hard part in my experience, at least
   on Linux. :-) ), probably by referring to the video's description.
   [Java 8 seems to be the max version per the post-2.5.3 fix for java 9+
   
<https://github.com/digama0/mmj2/commit/468e629743e09eb3f3ec5d2801a23dcd2666dfec>
   and a quick test with OpenJDK 11, and probably the min version as well.
   Linux Java 8 command line needs to be something like
     cd /the/directory/where/you/unpacked/mmj2/mmj2jar
     java -Xincgc -Xms128M -Xmx512M -jar mmj2.jar RunParms.txt Y ''
   /the/directory/having/set.mm ''
   ]
   - Video might explain a mmj2 version check (Help -> About mmj2).
   - 0:35: "mmj2" is read as "mmg".
   - 14:35: The video explains how the tutorial doesn't match the recent
   notation change in mmj2 step:hyps:ref-- instead of explaining that in the
   video, shouldn't the tutorial be fixed before publishing the final video?
   - 21:43: Switched to 'reiteration.mmp' file name for Page401.mmp, which
   makes it a bit difficult to follow along if (like me) you only look at the
   mmj2 window title bar. :-)
   - 23:36: Probably you should explicitly mention that you are skipping
   Page402.mmp and Page403.mmp, about 'only assertions in the Ref part of a
   step'?
   - 26:13: Skipping Page 405.mmp without mention, presumably because the
   instructions are not correct (Edit/Undo doesn't do anything after just
   loading the page, of course).
   - 30:04: The result of Page409.mmp is actually different from the
   starting point of Page410.mmp (d1/d2->1001/2001, and the leading
   exclamation marks are done).  That difference doesn't teem to matter.
   - Side note, are those leading exclamation marks explained somewhere,
   either in the tutorial or in the video?  Couldn't find this.

Those were the nits I could find. :-)

Again, thanks for this effort!!

Groetjes,
