I think that before creating more new pages for beginners that I should 
do what I mentioned a few days ago.  I'm still a beginner myself!  :)

 From the new wiki page: http://wiki.freepascal.org/ideU

To see ideU in operation (in translating fpc applications into Java 
applications) watch this 6 MB video: 
https://sites.google.com/site/designerext/fpc_java.mp4 and follow these 
instructions:

I'll try to figure out how to do things first on my 64-bit Xubuntu 16.04 
for a console program.  After that is clear it should be easier to try 
the same thing on Android?
