NAME
     vimtutor - the Vim tutor

SYNOPSIS
     vimtutor [-g] [language]

DESCRIPTION
     Vimtutor  starts  the  Vim  tutor.  It copies the tutor file
     first, so that it can be modified without changing the orig-
     inal file.

     The  Vimtutor  is useful for people that want to learn their
     first Vim commands.

     The optional argument -g starts vimtutor  with  gvim  rather
     than  vim,  if the GUI version of vim is available, or falls
     back to Vim if gvim is not found.

     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/share/vim/vim73/tutor/tutor[.language]

                    file.

     Pierce and Robert K. Ware, Colorado School  of  Mines  using
     ideas  supplied by Charles Smith, Colorado State University.

     It was modified for Vim by Bram Moolenaar.  For the names of
     the translators see the tutor files.
