Hello,
I'm sorry to answer to this message so late, I haven't been near of a
computer during the last days.

I agree completely. I think that the tutorials should last no more than 5
minutes, ideally 3 minutes.

I think it's simply great.

I plan to do an small change to the only tutorial I have made. At the end
of the tutorial I explained how to save a file. Probably this will be
covered in another tutorial. I want to end the tutorial wiht 3 buttons
instead of two. The buttons will be:
* Back
* Re-start the tutorial
* Do you want to know how to save a file?
This will shorten the tutorial bu the information of how to save will be
available for those interested in it.

OK. I didn't know that.

I'll change it.

I know but I didn't realise until I finished the tutorial :-( and it's a
lot of work to remove it (well, not a lot but it requires to re-do almost
all the tutorial).

I didn't know that either.

OK. That would make the tutorial easier to understand.

That is always a good suggestion, and I should follow it more frequently.
