Actually, the tutorial is not a good > introduction to emacs. I have been using Emacs for almost a decade now. My initial struggles are just vague memories. If you were to write this tutorial, how will you structure it. (Just some quick notes would do) If you (Hello There!), are a user who has started using Emacs recently...If could share yours WTFs or suggestions, I will make a note of it and fold it in to "The Emacs Book" I am working on. NB: "The Emacs Book" is just a vapourware right now. I am looking for inputs from the user community. If all goes well and if there is some good initial meat, I may even propose to Emacs maintainers to host a repository for this book.
