NAME
vimtutor - the Vim tutor
SYNOPSIS
vimtutor [language]
DESCRIPTION
Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file first, so that
it can be modified without changing the original file.
The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim
commands.
The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language,
like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the language
of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is
available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will be
used.
Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
FILES
/usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor[.language]
The Vimtutor text file(s).
/usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file.
