In a way yes, but I decided to do something else similiar to my homework just to see
Actually its for studying purposes. I only was introduced to linux last week and I was told that it uses the same commands as windows, but differently. I barely know how to do scripts in windows and I can't say that I am a pro at it. I have been trying to do this on my own, but with no prevail. I really dont' understand the concept of it at all. I refuse to give up, but my teacher talks to me like I really know what he says. I have been reading my lessons and when I take a self check on matters that I read, I do ok but when it comes to the actual assignment, I'm at a total loss. I thought of gettinga tutor, but who can tutor me when there is none at my school. So I came to the best place I could, and that's here. I'm not asking for anwers just a way to see if I can get some clarification in lamens terms. Well at least put in a way I can understand.

vimtutor
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/share/vim/vim80/tutor/tutor[.language]
The Vimtutor text file(s).
/usr/share/vim/vim80/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.
