* I like the idea of removing the word "Emacs" from the beginning of the five
menu items Drew mentioned.
* I don't like the idea of moving the tour into a submenu. It is one of the
most important help items for newbies, perhaps more important than the manual.
I suspect that putting the tour in a submenu will make less users click on it.
What is the disadvantage of just leaving the Help menu long?
* I don't like the World Wide Web. If I were an Emacs newbie, I would not
click "Web Tour". I would click "Tutorial" instead. So I would miss out on the
tour. I Is there any way for us to tell Help menu viewers that the tour
describes a much wider variety of useful features for programmers and others,
but the tutorial covers only text editing basics? Maybe name the menu items
"Tutorial (for non-programmers only)" and "Web Tour (for everyone)"?
