I had a question about using Emacs in terminal. Is it not possible to do add ons if you do not have the GUI version? I ask because in everything I have read, it says you need to edit a ~/.emacs file which I do not seem to have. Anyone know how I can add add ons?
Thanks a lot in advance (1 Reply)

I've just installed Alpine on Snow Leopard but can't seem to get a default spell checker configured for it. What happened to spell? I can't find it at all on 10.6, must have been some changes. Does anyone know about the default unix spell checker on SL? Thanks! (0 Replies)

VIMTUTOR(1) General Commands Manual VIMTUTOR(1)
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 original 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 lan-
guage 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.
FILES
/usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor[.language]
The Vimtutor text file(s).
/usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file.
AUTHOR
The Vimtutor was originally written for Vi by Michael C. Pierce and Robert K. Ware, Colorado School of Mines using ideas supplied by
Charles Smith, Colorado State University. E-mail: bware@mines.colorado.edu.
It was modified for Vim by Bram Moolenaar. For the names of the translators see the tutor files.
