You can rewrite about as much you want.  The biggest restriction on that is 
trying to keep existing links intact, which means either avoiding renaming or 
removing sections, or being sure to keep a reference to the old name.

I have reservations about suggesting the "Python (command line)" Start menu 
entry over just using Command Prompt (since it's really just Python running 
inside a Command Prompt-like window with even fewer features that will 
disappear as soon as Python exits, which may make debugging a challenge in some 
cases), but I'd like to see what you have in mind before judging.

To generalize an idea that I touched on in my last message, I don't think the 
Python documentation should be trying to teach people how to use Windows.  We 
should provide links to good resources for learning particular topics that are 
necessary for what we need to teach on the Python side of things (such as how 
to set environment variables), but we shouldn't try to keep it in-line.
