Hi all,
The other day I was browsing through the Vimtutor which runs as a
command. It opens as a tutorial. I would like to know how can I copy,
paste the entire contents to a new file. If I yank the contents, they
can only be copied to the same file. Maybe I am doing something wrong
but does VIM really have a facility/command to copy to another file? I
tried the usual cp command but that copies the command and its code for
the Vimtutor.
Also, how do I read the lessons numbered as |usr_1.txt| ?
Thank you in advance.

Arty;
cp origional-file.txt newfile.txt
To assemble avi slices from newsgroups:
cat firstfile.avi.0* > movie.avi
Or, You can copy the contents of a file also by:
cat originalfile.txt > newfile.txt
helps?

Hey Coffee and others, thanks indeed for the replies. Ideally cat abc.txt >
xyz.txt would help but vimtutor is a command which opens as tutorial in Vi
or Vim. If I yank those 970 lines and I open a blank new file, I cannot p
(paste) because it is not programmed that way. It means I can only paste the
yanked 970 lines in the same tutorial giving me additional 970 lines! I
don't understand why this limitation for a command related file. I can copy
from a normal vi file and paste into another new vi file but cannot do so
with a command output file.
Thank you,
Arty
