+NAME
+       evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       evim [options] [file ..]
+       eview
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi-
+       tor.  This is still Vim but used as  a  point-and-click  editor.   This
+       feels  a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.  eVim will always run in
+       the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.
+
+       Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal
+       way.  Editing will be much less efficient.
+
+       eview  is  the  same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works just like
+       evim -R.
+
+       See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.
+
+       The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
+       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.
+
+OPTIONS
+       See vim(1).
+
+FILES

+                      The script loaded to initialize eVim.
+
+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.
