Naw, (g)vim is much better <wink>

That is press and release Escape, press and release x, type
'tutorial'.
(this little explanation of Meta is for those with interesting
combinations of OSes and hardware types wondering why Meta "doesn't"
work)
Escape works as Meta regardless of machine type. If you are using an
x86 Linux system, the left Alt is also Meta (So type Alt-x tutorial).
If you are on a Windows box that is XHosting emacs running on Solaris
the Alt doesn't work -- the black diamond key on the Solaris keyboard
is Meta (same place as PC Alt). I haven't tried with any other
system, but I found that inconsistency (in OSes/hardware) to be rather
annoying.
