The AndroidManifest.xml of the SL4A APK I downloaded shows a 
"targetSdkVersion" of 14, which translates to below Android  v4.1.   And as 
AFAIK my phone runs Android 13 ...  Yep, it goes onto the garbage heap. :-\

Yikes!  I might be a hobby programmer, but asking a first-timer to configure 
something without clear instructions is just asking him to fail.  Which 
(having to go thru a gazillion of tries to get the whole thing to work) 
isn't really my cup of tea.

:-)  I started off with the desire to just being able to run a script or 
two.  I'm not at all sure what I want to build.  Starting with the famous 
"hello world" would be a first step, activating the "buzzer" a likely 
second.  But being able to do something with BLE (detecting "beacon" 
broadcasts) has been in the back of my mind.    I might even want to build 
something which draws stuff in a ... what do you call those apps which have 
a full-screen GUI presence ?

My consideration was more the opposite of that : if I could run scripts 
(written using the IDE or not) without having to interact with the IDE every 
time.
