基于4.2的SDK导出来的MonkeyRunner的最新帮助，这个版本对MonkeyView和MonkeyRect有了很大的加强，在MonkeyRunner的易用性上有了很大的提高。

对于导出MonkeyRunner帮助文件的方法也顺便说一下

from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice 

content = MonkeyRunner.help("html"); 

f = open(‘help.html‘, ‘w‘); 

f.write(content); 

f.close(); 

文件会生成在SDK的tools 目录下
