Re: what is it that LiteStep does for the non-programmer?

Not technically. But whatever is the last stop of the computer bus just 
this side of programmer.

A structured misunderstanding over terminology won't help anyone so let 
me ask, what would you call it?

*It* is the special codes, terms and practices either unique to LiteStep 
(such as "Hotspot Initialization Error:") or encoded in language that 
most people with enough programming background to follow nested "If . . 
.then. . ." statements, for example.

So no, I don't think you need to be a programmer to use LiteStep.

But if you aren't a programmer and don't have someone to walk you 
through it, it will take study and background resources before you can 
even install many of the themes.

(I use "Omar's Installer" and in somewhere between half and 2/3s the 
time, there will be error messages popping up that even a fairly 
experienced Windows user--not a coder--will not likely know how to address).

So what term should I use for people who may not be able to write a 
complete program or major subroutine in C# but who are completely new to 
LiteStep terminology, file structure and "ways things are done?"
