vimtutor - the Vim tutor

Author

TheViTutorial was originally written for Vi by Michael C. Pierce and Robert K. Ware, Colorado School of
       Mines using ideas supplied by Charles Smith, Colorado State University.  E-mail:bware@mines.colorado.edu(nowinvalid).

       Modified for Vim by Bram Moolenaar.

       Translation contributors are listed in the tutor files.

Description

Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor.

       The  Vimtutor  is  useful  for people that want to learn their first Vim commands.  The optional [ISO639]
       argument is the two or three letter name of a language, like "it" or "es".

       Vimtutor only opens temporary copies of the original tutor files, there is no danger of  overwriting  the
       lessons.

       Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
