-README.txt for version 7.2a of Vim: Vi IMproved.
+Tutor is a "hands on" tutorial for new users of the Vim editor.
 
+Most new users can get through it in less than one hour. The result
+is that you can do a simple editing task using the Vim editor.
 
-WHAT IS VIM
+Tutor is a file that contains the tutorial lessons. You can simply
+execute "vim tutor" and then follow the instructions in the lessons.
+The lessons tell you to modify the file, so DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR
+ORIGINAL COPY.
 
-Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi.  Many new features
-have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history,
-on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, etc.
-There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.  See
-"runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt" for differences with Vi.
+On Unix you can also use the "vimtutor" program.  It will make a
+scratch copy of the tutor first.
 
-This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII files.
-All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type
-with ten fingers can work very fast.  Additionally, function keys can be
-defined by the user, and the mouse can be used.
+I have considered adding more advanced lessons but have not found the
+time. Please let me know how you like it and send any improvements you
+make.
 
-Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP,
-Atari MiNT, Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of
-UNIX.  Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.

-DISTRIBUTION
-
-There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems.
-This README.txt file comes with the runtime archive.  It includes the
-documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime.  To run
-Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive.
-Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you
-want or must compile it yourself.  Check "http://www.vim.org/download.php" for
-an overview of currently available distributions.
-
-
-DOCUMENTATION
-
-The best is to use ":help" in Vim.  If you don't have an executable yet, read
-"runtime/doc/help.txt".  It contains pointers to the other documentation
-files.  The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use
-Vim.  See ":help user-manual".
-
-The vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners.  Mostly it can be
-started as "vimtutor".  See ":help tutor" for more information.
-
-
-COPYING
-
-Vim is Charityware.  You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
-encouraged to make a donation to orphans in Uganda.  Please read the file
-"runtime/doc/uganda.txt" for details (do ":help uganda" inside Vim).
-
-Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an
-unmodified copy of Vim.  Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license
-text must always be included.  For modified versions a few restrictions apply.
-The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and
-distribute it.
-
-
-SPONSORING
-
-Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort.  To show
-your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue
-working on Vim please send a donation.
-
-Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children
-in Uganda.  See runtime/doc/uganda.txt.  But at the same time donations
-increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim!

-COMPILING
