*01.3*  Using the Vim tutor                             *tutor* *vimtutor*

Instead of reading the text (boring!) you can use the vimtutor to learn your
first Vim commands.  This is a 30 minute tutorial that teaches the most basic
Vim functionality hands-on.

On Unix and MS-Windows, if Vim has been properly installed, you can start it
from the shell:

        vimtutor

This will make a copy of the tutor file, so that you can edit it without the
risk of damaging the original.
   There are a few translated versions of the tutor.  To find out if yours is
available, use the two-letter language code. For French:

        vimtutor fr

For OpenVMS, if Vim has been properly installed, you can start vimtutor from a
VMS prompt with:

        @VIM:vimtutor

Optionally add the two-letter language code as above.


On other systems, you have to do a little work:

1. Copy the tutor file.  You can do this with Vim (it knows where to find it):

        vim -u NONE -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q'

   This will write the file &quot;TUTORCOPY&quot; in the current directory.  To use a
translated version of the tutor, append the two-letter language code to the
filename.  For French:

        vim -u NONE -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor.fr' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q'

2. Edit the copied file with Vim:

        vim -u NONE -c &quot;set nocp&quot; TUTORCOPY

   The extra arguments make sure Vim is started in a good mood.

3. Delete the copied file when you are finished with it:

        del TUTORCOPY</pre>
</div>
