That is right; I would also add that it may be overwhelming for a newbie
to be reading through a large "wall of text" -- here you have blank
space after the current paragraph so the attention is focused even more
on the last few lines.

Additionally, since instructions scroll automatically, I can space them
out more than you would conventionally do in a manual.

Pretty cool.
When reading the source of the Web page which shows the scroll,
I can't find the reference to the text displayed. Only "text"...
How may we use the software which generates the Javascript ?
Thanks, it's cool.

Thanks!

   the text is in var commands = ...

You can download the generator script here:

https://github.com/pythonbyexample/PBE/blob/master/code/jstmovie.py

(you also need to grab  tmovies dir)
When looking at the source of the page :
http://lightbird.net/larks/tmovies/strings.html
I find commands = []
I can't guess where the strings displayed come from...

Look 10 lines below that line.


I have also added a related page that allows you to paste your own
text to make a movie; it's linked from the same page with the
list of generated t-movies.

(that page does not let you use typewriter effect or custom pauses
though).
