13DESCRIPTION
14 Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file
15 first, so that it can be modified without changing the
16 original file.
17
18 The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their
19 first Vim commands.
20
21 The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of
22 a language, like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument
23 is missing, the language of the current locale will be
24 used. If a tutor in this language is available, it will
25 be used. Otherwise the English version will be used.
26
27 Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
