Complete this short VIM tutorial on the Linux test machine by copying
the tutorial file into your directory and editing it:

    $ cd
    $ cp /usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor tutor
    $ vim tutor

    Follow the instructions in the tutorial.

Note: An early version of "vim" (Vi iMproved) is also available on ACADAIX.  
      You can get help by typing ":help" after you start the editor.
      The first help screen tells you how to exit the help screen.

You may also study one or more of the VI tutorials available under the
"Unix Resources" button on the course home page.

All your scripts, and your JCL in the MVS part of the course, will be
entered using this VI (or VIM) text editor.  Learning to use it well
will speed up your work and get you a better mark.

Learning to use VI (or VIM) is not an intellectual exercise.  You have
to use it and get used to it through practice.  I will cover only the
basics of VI in class - it's up to you to do the practice.

The more you learn about the editor, the faster you will be able to edit
and the better your marks will be on tests.
