+Tutor is a "hands on" tutorial for new users of the Vim editor.
+
+Most new users can get through it in less than one hour. The result
+is that you can do a simple editing task using the Vim editor.
+
+Tutor is a file that contains the tutorial lessons. You can simply
+execute "vim tutor" and then follow the instructions in the lessons.
+The lessons tell you to modify the file, so DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR
+ORIGINAL COPY.
+
+On Unix you can also use the "vimtutor" program. It will make a
+scratch copy of the tutor first.
+
+I have considered adding more advanced lessons but have not found the
+time. Please let me know how you like it and send any improvements you
+make.

+Translation
+-----------
+
+The tutor.xx and tutor.xx.utf-8 files are translated files (where xx is the
+language code). The encoding of tutor.xx might be latin1 or other traditional
+encoding. If you don't need a translation with such traditional encoding,
+you just need to prepare the tutor.xx.utf-8 file.
+If you need another encoding, you can also prepare a file named tutor.xx.enc
+(replace enc with the actual encoding name). You might also need to adjust the
+tutor.vim file.
+The "make" command can be used for creating tutor.xx from tutor.xx.utf-8.
+See the Makefile for detail. (For some languages, tutor.xx.utf-8 is created
+from tutor.xx for historical reasons.)
