I attach an updated patch thanks to your feedback.
I also noticed that there was another inconsistency
regarding how long the tutorial takes:
* in doc/help.txt: 20 minutes
* in doc/usr_01.txt: 30 minutes
* in tutor/tutor: 25-30 minutes
It's the same order of magnitude of course,
but let's be consistent and round to 30 minutes
everywhere as in the proposed patch.
Regards
Dominique
