+Viper tutorial #1: The Basics
+
+This lesson lasts 10-15 minutes and teaches simple editing. Lines
+which begin with >>> mark exercises you should try. When you
+want to exit this tutorial type 'Z''Z' (type capital Z, twice).
+
+When you type commands in vi they do not appear on the screen. If the
+letters you type unexpectedly appear on the screen, press the ESC key.
+
+
+BASIC CURSOR MOVEMENT
+---------------------
+To move through the tutorial use C-d (control d) and C-u (control u).
+
+ C-d Move DOWN one half-screen
+ (depress the control key and type d)
+
+ C-u Move UP one half-screen
+ (depress the control key and type u)
+
+* EMACS-NOTICE: C-u is normally used in Emacs for UNIVERSAL-ARGUMENT.
+ You can in most cases use DIGIT-ARGUMENT instead.
+
+>>> Now type C-d (control d) and C-u (control u) to move down and back up.
+
+When you are done reading a screen, you are expected to type C-d to move
+down to the next screen. You must remember to type C-d throughout the
+tutorial.
+
+To move the cursor line by line, or character by character, use the
+four keys 'h', 'j', 'k', and 'l'.
+
+ 'h' Move left one character
+ 'j' Move down one line
+ 'k' Move up one line
+ 'l' Move right one character
+
+You will notice that these keys are in a straight line on the
+keyboard. Study the diagram below showing the function of h, j, k, l.
+
+ UP
+ ....... ....... ....... .......
+ : : : : : : : :
+ LEFT : h : : j : : k : : l : RIGHT
+ :.....: :.....: :.....: :.....:
+
+ DOWN
+
+>>> Now type 'j' or 'k' a few times to bring the cursor to this line.
+
+>>> Try moving off the right end of a line using 'l' . Notice that
+>>> vi will not allow you to move off the end of the line using 'l' .
+>>> Likewise, you cannot use 'h' and 'l' on a blank line.
+
+>>> Try moving past the bottom of the screen using 'j' . Notice how
+>>> how the screen scrolls downward.
+
+>>> Now practice using 'k' to move up, and 'h' to move left.
+
+
+DELETION
+--------
+To delete characters and lines, use 'x' and 'd''d'.
+
+ 'x' X-OUT one character
+ 'd''d' DELETE one line
+
+To undo your changes, use 'u'.
+
+ 'u' UNDO last change only
+
+>>> Delete this SCRAP line. Move to this line with 'j' or 'k' , now type 'd''d' .
+>>> Try undoing the deletion with 'u' .
+
+>>> Move to this line and x-out the Y's with 'x' : "whY ask whY?"
+
+>>> Try undoing the deletion with 'u' . Try typing 'u' several times.
+>>> Notice that 'u' only undoes the last change.
+
+* EMACS-NOTICE: In Viper you can use the repeat command '.' (just a dot)
+ to undo more changes. This goes in both direction, ie undoing and
+ redoing. Typing just 'u' changes direction.
+
+Here are more lines on which to practice deleting and undoing (use: 'd''d' 'x' 'u' )

+
+QUIT COMMANDS
+-------------
+(DO NOT QUIT the tutorial at this time.)
+
+To quit a file without saving any changes you have made (for instance,
+with the 'd''d' or 'x' commands) use :q!<RETURN> . To quit and save your
+changes, use 'Z''Z' . When you are editing your own files, you normally
+use 'Z''Z' to quit.
+
+ :q!<RETURN> QUIT without saving changes
+ (type a colon, then the letter q, then an
+ exclamation point, and press RETURN)
+
+ 'Z''Z' Exit and save any changes
+ (type capital Z, twice)
+
+
+
+INSERTION
+---------
+You enter insert mode with 'i' or 'o' . Anything you type during insert
+mode appears on the screen. When you are done inserting, press ESC
+to exit insert mode. Type C-[ (control [ ), if you do not have an ESC key.
+
+ 'o' OPEN a line for inserting text
+ 'i' INSERT starting at the cursor
+
+ ESC ESCAPE from insert mode
+
+During insert mode, use your erase character (usually backspace or
+delete) to delete mistakes. The characters you delete will remain on
+the screen until you press ESC.
+
+>>> Insert your name and phone number below the next blank line. To do this:
+>>> Open a line below using 'o' .
+>>> Type your first and last name. Press RETURN.
+>>> Then type your phone number and press ESC.
+>>> Use 'x' to erase part of your phone number.
+
+>>> Type the date below your phone number. To do this:
+>>> Open another line using 'o' .
+>>> Type the date and press ESC.
+
+>>> Type 'u' to undo the insertion.
+
+>>> Insert a nickname between your first and last names, using 'i'. To do this:
+>>> Move the cursor to the spot between your names using 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l'.
+>>> Press 'i' .
+>>> Type the nickname, use DELETE or BACKSPACE to erase any typos.
+>>> Then press ESC.
+
+On some computers, a line may be longer than the width of the screen.
+This means that a very long line may appear to be two lines on the
+screen. This happens when you keep typing without pressing RETURN at
+the edge of the screen. To avoid any confusion when you're inserting
+text, be sure to press RETURN before reaching the right edge of the
+screen.
+
+
+SUMMARY
+-------
+These are the vi commands you should know after tutorial #1:
+
+ C-d Move DOWN one half-screen
+ (depress the control key and type d)
+
+ C-u Move UP one half-screen
+ (depress the control key and type u)
+
+ 'h' Move left one character
+ 'j' Move down one line
+ 'k' Move up one line
+ 'l' Move right one character
+
+ 'd''d' DELETE one line
+ 'x' X-OUT one character
+
+ 'u' UNDO last change
+
+ :q!<RETURN> QUIT without saving changes

+ exclamation point, and press RETURN)
+
+ 'Z''Z' Exit and save any changes
+ (type capital Z, twice)
+
+ 'o' OPEN a line for inserting text
+ 'i' INSERT starting at the cursor
+
+ ESC ESCAPE from insert mode
+
+
+You are now prepared to do simple editing on your own files. Practice
+using vi for a few days. Then take the second vi tutorial to learn
+more powerful and useful vi commands.
