Not exactly. Newbie has to read whole Users Manual from the beginning to
the end. There is no way to jump directly to usr_41 and understand
everything.

This is -- with other words -- exactly what I said.

Well, let's face it, writing a complex plugin is not a thing for the
greenest newbies. A newbie should concern himself first with simple
scripts like the vimrc -- and to start a good vimrc (around ":source
$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim) one doesn't have to know all the fine
points of Vim language. That will come later, by reading the help (by
the Montecarlo Dictionary method: open the dictionary at random, read
what is found, then recursively read the entries about anything not
readily understood -- about Vim help: look at the help for anything
mentioned here on the list, or use helptag completion or :helpgrep to
find a starting point, and proceed from there using hotlinks in the
help), by looking at existing scripts, at code snippets published in
these lists, at vim-online Tips and Scripts, etc.
Best regards,
Tony.
