I've been using Vim for a few years now and hobbling around well enough but ultimately decided I wanted to learn to use Vim more effectively. Thus among other things I ran vimtutor again in hopes of absorbing stuff that I didn't remember from the first time around. Ultimately as I reached the end it suggested I run some :help commands and this is where things went quite bad.
For example here is what happens when I ran ":help user-manual" from within vimtutor: E434: Can't find tag pattern Press ENTER or type command to continue After I pressed enter as it said something did open in the top pane but it was complete garbage. This same thing seems to occur when running gvimtutor as well. This does not appear to happen when I use the usual commands of the form: vim gvim vim file1 file2 ... gvim file1 fil2 ...
