This was very helpful. I find the constant unwillingness to link the sophistication of Emacs and Vi/Vim to the "simpler" concepts of Windows editors really frustrating, and I always appreciate it when someone extends a helping hand.
Yes, like Zork, the journey of solving Emacs or Vi with rapid keying is part of the fun, but sometimes, having a well written hint file (and yes, :help isn't it) can be really welcome.
