23.1.50; Please provide access to the tour on the Help menu; preferably ship it also |

Hi,
Please provide access to the Emacs guided tour on the Emacs' Help
menu. Preferably as the first item on the menu, since it is more
useful than the tutorial.
Preferably by shipping the full tour as part of Emacs, and providing
shortcuts to launch it, like the Lisp code for XEmacs at
http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/guided-tour-0.52-pkg.tar.gz
does. Or you can ship a text version of the tour, perhaps produced by
the "lynx -dump" command or some HTML-to-text converter as part of
your build procedure; but make sure to tack on a message at the
beginning telling users how to get to the full version on the Web.
Thanks in advance,
-Jason

No objections within 2 weeks, so I'm closing this bug.
