I second that but add the caveat that the tutor is generic 
and quite old so it doesn't cover the use of menus, mouse or cursor 
keys. All of which should wotrk pretty much as expected! So 
you aren't forced to use C-n to move down a line etc you can 
just use the down arrow! (Of course C-n is faster if you 
touch type... and less painful if you swap the CTRL and 
CapsLock keys on a PC keyboard!)
