I don't know Chinese so I can't comment on the documentation but, I 
think it's a really neat idea to allow the student to modify and compile 
the samples from the same window. Here are some observations:

* Syntax highlighting on the editor would be nice. The Scintilla control 
has been ported several times. You could use one to have a better editor 
embedded. What GUI library are you using?

* I think you should show the full command line used to compile the 
program (dmd foo.d -debug -unittest...). That way the students will be 
familiarized with the options of the DMD compiler. Which brings me to...

* I don't know if you can redistribute the DMD compiler like that. I 
think Walter said something about not wanting redistribution of the 
compiler to be able to track downloads. You should talk to Walter and 
ask him for permission.

Overall I think this is a great way to introduce students to the 
language. Have you considered translations? I could help you with a 
Spanish version if you provide the English version.
