+.TH EVIM 1 "2002 February 16"
+.SH NAME
+evim \- easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.br
+.B evim
+[options] [file ..]
+.br
+.B eview
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B eVim
+starts
+.B Vim
+and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor.
+This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor.
+This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.
+.B eVim
+will always run in the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.
+.PP
+Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal way.
+Editing will be much less efficient.
+.PP
+.B eview
+is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like evim \-R.
+.PP
+See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.
+.PP
+The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
+.br
+Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows keys.
+CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
+Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.
+.SH OPTIONS
+See vim(1).
+.SH FILES
+.TP 15
+/usr/local/lib/vim/evim.vim
+The script loaded to initialize eVim.
+.SH AKA
+Also Known As "Vim for gumbies".
+When using evim you are expected to take a handkerchief,
+make a knot in each corner and wear it on your head.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+vim(1)
+.SH AUTHOR
+Most of
+.B Vim
+was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others.
+See the Help/Credits menu.
