+NAME
+ evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ evim [options] [file ..]
+ eview
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi-
+ tor. This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. This
+ feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. eVim will always run in
+ the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.
+
+ Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal
+ way. Editing will be much less efficient.
+
+ eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like
+ evim -R.
+
+ See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.
+
+ The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
+ Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows
+ keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
+ Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.
+
+OPTIONS
+ See vim(1).
+
+FILES
+ /usr/local/lib/vim/evim.vim
+ The script loaded to initialize eVim.
+
+AKA
+ Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected to
+ take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on your
+ head.

+AUTHOR
+ Most of Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others.
+ See the Help/Credits menu.
