You can just provide a log of the session, and if javascript is enabled, turn that into an animation. If not, it stays normal text. Readable and copy&paste-able.

(update: my first formulation was harsher than intended. I meant no offense, and made it constructive now...)

Well, cross-browser JavaScript animations are still very tricky, i'm open for suggestions though.

Oh, hells yes. Don't try to write them from scratch yourself. Try something simple and nice like jQuery + jQuery cycle plugin. It's very flexible with hooks for scripting. You can even animate text blocks so, as mortiz moritz suggested, it can remain available to copy/paste. There is no API guide on the site but a ton of examples to read/bite.

(Update...) It also degrades well without JS if you set it up right so that all the content shows in the order that would otherwise be frames. Nice and semantic.

I find it extremely annoying to have to wait and watch the animation to see the command I need to type :\

I do realize that there may be documentation elsewhere and if that is true then is there even a need for the animations?

The rest looks nice though. (",)

There is a conflict between being persuasive and being actually convenient learning material.
