NAME
     vimtutor - the Vim tutor

SYNOPSIS
     vimtutor [-g] [language]

DESCRIPTION
     Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor.  It  copies  the  tutor  file
     first,  so that it can be modified without changing the ori-
     ginal file.

     The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to  learn  their
     first Vim commands.

     The optional argument -g starts vimtutor  with  gvim  rather
     than  vim,  if the GUI version of vim is available, or falls
     back to Vim if gvim is not found.

     The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a
     language,  like "it" or "es".  If the [language] argument is
     missing, the language of the current locale  will  be  used.
     If  a  tutor in this language is available, it will be used.
     Otherwise the English version will be used.

     Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
