Vim


I am trying to improve my editor skills, and I am trying to learn vim. I read the vim tutor, and decided to print it for future reference. I used the command:

lpr -P(name) vimtutor

The result was one page of the tutor and that wasn't even the first page. Could someone help me out please?

Thanks,

Rich

vimtutor is command so it is printing the first page only you need to print actual *.txt file located in /usr/local/vim63/* or try it from http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/usr_02.html OR good place to start is http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/

or you could save a copy of the tutor file to your directory and print it from there.
