Nothing like practice to burn it in :) As mentioned in a
previous email, I forced myself to use nothing but Vim for a
month and by the end of it, there was no going back. The things
I used regularly became natural; the things I didn't use
regularly got filed away in the "vim can do that if I ever need
it" part of my brain without memorizing the specifics.

If you just type
:help
the top of the help-page it pulls up gives you tips on navigating
the help. Additionally, you can read
:help :helpgrep
:help quickfix
for searching through the help. Knowing regular-expressions
helps a LOT.
