OK.  I have waited, and now I'm back.  :)

Please add a command to the Help menu to show the user the Emacs guided tour.  
I see two options for how it could work:

1.  You could make the command launch the system default web browser and point 
it to http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/tour/

2.  Or you could ship the tour .odp and .pdf files with Emacs like XEmacs does
[1], then ask the OS to launch them in whatever it thinks is the appropriate 
viewer.
