Please assume there is an Idiots Guide for VIM. What would it filled with? I am completely new. All I know is how to access VIM through the terminal.

Simple: Install Vim on your system, then run the vimtutor program. It will present you with a series of lessons (extremely well-written IMHO) about how to use Vim.

I second that. I have found this guide to be pretty good, too:

P.S. There is also a gvimtutor but I don't know whether it can be used with macvim. (I think ir does, but I cannot check it because I'm not on a Mac.) If it can't, it shouls work with gvim for X11 but on a Mac this is much less practical.

Best regards,
Tony.
