We now give the basics of how to enter text, make corrections, and
save the text in a file. If this material is new to you, you might
learn it more easily by running the Emacs learn-by-doing tutorial. To
use the tutorial, run Emacs and type Control-h t
(help-with-tutorial). You can also use Tutorials item from
the Help menu.
SXEmacs comes with many translations of tutorial. If your SXEmacs is with MULE and you set up language environment correctly, SXEmacs chooses right tutorial when available (see Language Environments). If you want specific translation, give C-h t a prefix argument, like C-u C-h t.
To clear the screen and redisplay, type C-l (recenter).
