# When an argument is given, it tries loading that tutor.
# When this fails or no argument was given, it tries using 'v:lang'
# When that also fails, it uses the English version.
# Vim could be called "vim" or "vi". Also check for "vimN", for people who
# have Vim installed with its version number.
# We anticipate up to a future Vim 8.1 version :-).
