Hi Kim,
I have made quite a few changes since I last sent this to you. Richard
proposed different wordings and some rework which I have done. Currently
I think that Richard is satisfied with the patch. Michael has said it is
ok for Viper. (But I have made some changes after that. However I asked
about his opinion about the idea of telling about some of the more
important clashes with Viper and I think he thought that was good.)
I have attached the version which I sent last time to Richard (with just
the small change in wording that Kim proposed below). The new version
lives in a file of its own, tutorial.el.
I am sorry for the confusion that it raises that you did not get this
version before. I somehow thought you were not interested since I did
not hear from you.

I have changed it.

I have made that explicit now.

Viper is not enabled in the tutorial buffer by default. However I now
offer the possibility to enable it so that the user can see the more
important key clashes.
I think this is good for Viper users. Users who does not use Viper is
not affected by this at all.

There are some more changes too.
Can you please tell me what is wrong with beeing able to run a tutorial
in for example German and another in English? Is that really obscure?
(Please look at the version I attach here.)

"Give more information about a changed key binding.
This is used in `help-with-tutorial'. The information includes
the key sequence that no longer has a default binding, the
default binding and the current binding. It also tells in what
keymap the new binding has been done and how to access the
function in the default binding from the keyboard.
For `cua-mode' key bindings that try to combine CUA key bindings
with default Emacs bindings information about this is shown.
VALUE should have either of these formats:
\(cua-mode)
\(current-binding KEY-FUN DEF-FUN KEY WHERE)
Where
KEY is a key sequence whose standard binding has been changed
KEY-FUN is the actual binding for KEY
DEF-FUN is the standard binding of KEY
WHERE is a text describing the key sequences to which DEF-FUN is
bound now (or, if it is remapped, a key sequence
for the function it is remapped to)"

region is active, so in most cases, they do not conflict with the
normal function of these prefix keys.
If you really need to perform a command which starts with one of
the prefix keys even when the region is active, you have three
options:
- press the prefix key twice very quickly (within 0.2 seconds),

If there's no tutorial in that language, `TUTORIAL' is selected.
With ARG, you are asked to choose which language.
If DONT-ASK-FOR-REVERT is non-nil the buffer is reverted without
any question when restarting the tutorial.
If any of the standard Emacs key bindings that are used in the
tutorial have been changed then an explanatory note about this is
shown in the beginning of the tutorial buffer.
When the tutorial buffer is killed the content and the point
position in the buffer is saved so that the tutorial may be
resumed later."
