It copies the tutor file first, so that 13 it can be modified without changing the original file. 14 15 The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim 16 commands. 17 18 The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, 19 like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the language 20 of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is 21 available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will be 22 used. 23 24 Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode. 25 26FILES 27 /usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor[.language] 28 The Vimtutor text file(s). 29 30 /usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor.vim 31 The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file. 32 33AUTHOR 34 The Vimtutor was originally written for Vi by Michael C.
