NAME
     evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless
     editing

SYNOPSIS
     evim [options] [file ..]
     eview

DESCRIPTION
     eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it  behave  like  a
     modeless editor.  This is still Vim but used as a point-and-
     click editor.  This feels a lot like using  Notepad  on  MS-
     Windows.  eVim will always run in the GUI, to enable the use
     of menus and toolbar.

     Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in
     the normal way.  Editing will be much less efficient.

     eview  is  the same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works
     just like evim -R.

     See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.

     The 'insertmode' option is set  to  be  able  to  type  text
     directly.
     Mappings  are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-
     Windows keys.  CTRL-X cuts  text,  CTRL-C  copies  text  and
     CTRL-V pastes text.  Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original mean-
     ing of CTRL-V.

OPTIONS
     See vim(1).

FILES
     /usr/share/vim/vim73/evim.vim
                    The script loaded to initialize eVim.

AKA
     Also Known As "Vim for gumbies".  When using  evim  you  are
     expected  to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner
     and wear it on your head.
