Its 2015.
You dont need to explain things like cursor-movement [do people read/need
notepad or gedit tutorials?] unless its rather non-standard.

Of course in 1975 it was different... But history is unlikely to be of interest
to someone who needs an emacs-tutorial.

[Disclaimer: Whether cursor-movement is technically part of the 
cua-specification...
If so which version of cua??
etc
I dont know
