The Elvis distribution comes with a (IMHO) very good manual in ms troff,
covering vi usage from scratch as well as elvis vi extensions. It's not a
tutorial, but it is a good reference manual. I've included the manual
in the elvis 1.8pl2 package for debian linux which I believe will be
in the debian 0.92beta release.
