...and, of course, the built-in help is itself an amazing treasure
trove. IMHO, reading them the way I read the encyclopedia when I was a
kid makes for some really exciting reading: start anywhere, and
(recursively) follow any interesting-looking links to other places of
the help. Or start with a ":help {subject}" or ":helpgrep {pattern}" for
something you want to know about, and follow links from there.
See
:help
:help :help
:help {subject}
:help :helpgrep
the third of which should be type literally: curly-, ess, you, bee, jay,
eeh, see, tee, -bracket.
Best regards,
Tony.
