Most of the links are placed between two vertical lines, such as: | BAR |. In addition, 'Number' form of option names, with double quotes

If your file is not in the list, check the location and file name of the file. If it is in the list, you must have a place to set the 'compatible' option.

* 01.3 * Tutorial instructions * tutor * * vimtutor *
In addition to reading the text (annoying!), You can also learn the basic vim command with the Vimtutor (Vim tutorial), this is a

In UNIX and MS-Windows, if the Vim is installed normally, you can run the following command from the command line:

This command creates a copy of the tutorial file, you can modify it anything without worrying about the original file.
This textbook has a variety of languages. To find these versions, add the other language after the commands you need
abbreviation. For example, for French versions:
Vimtutor fr
In a non-UNIX system, you have to do some work:
1. Copy the tutorial file. You can use Vim to complete this work (Vim know the location of the file)
Vim -u none -c 'e $ VIMRUNTIME / TUTOR / TUTOR'-C 'W! Tutorcopy' -C 'q'
This command creates a "tutorcopy" file under the current path. To use other languages,
After the file name, add a double letter language abbreviation as an extension. For French:
Vim -u none -c 'e $ vimruntime / tutor / tutor.fr' -c 'w! tutorcopy' -c 'q'
2. Edit this copy file with Vim
Vim -u none -c "set nocp" tutorcopy
Several other parameters are used to ensure that VIM starts using the correct mode.
