There should be an option, provided at the beginning of the built-in
tutorial, to switch into microsoft-word-mode, notepad-mode,
gedit-mode, etc., semi-emulating the popular text editors, even down
to the menu options and positions, with the goal of weaning users off
the originals, keeping them in the Emacs environment.

It would also emphasize that what matters are the functions, not the
default bindings.
