You can change it at any time by typing `M-x viper-set-expert-level RET'
        
 1 -- BEGINNER: Almost all Emacs features are suppressed.
       Feels almost like straight Vi. File name completion and
       command history in the minibuffer are thrown in as a bonus. 
       To use Emacs productively, you must reach level 3 or higher.
 2 -- MASTER: C-c now has its standard Emacs meaning in Vi command state,
       so most Emacs commands can be used when Viper is in Vi state.
       Good progress---you are well on the way to level 3!
 3 -- GRAND MASTER: Like 3, but most Emacs commands are available also
       in Viper's insert state.
 4 -- GURU: Like 3, but user settings are respected for viper-no-multiple-ESC,
       viper-ex-style-motion, viper-ex-style-editing, and
       viper-re-search variables. Adjust these settings to your taste.
 5 -- WIZARD: Like 4, but user settings are also respected for viper-always,
       viper-electric-mode, viper-want-ctl-h-help, viper-want-emacs-keys-in-vi,

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES
------------------------------

Before reporting a bug, please verify that it is related to Viper, and is
not cause by other packages you are using.

Don't report compilation warnings, unless you are certain that there is a
problem. These warnings are normal and unavoidable.

Please note that users should not modify variables and keymaps other than
those advertised in the manual. Such `customization' is likely to crash
Viper, as it would any other improperly customized Emacs package.

If you are reporting an error message received while executing one of the
Viper commands, type:

    M-x set-variable <Return> debug-on-error <Return> t <Return>
        
Then reproduce the error. The above command will cause Emacs to produce a
back trace of the execution that leads to the error. Please include this
trace in your bug report.

If you believe that one of Viper's commands goes into an infinite loop
\(e.g., Emacs freezes\), type:

    M-x set-variable <Return> debug-on-quit <Return> t <Return>
        
Then reproduce the problem. Wait for a few seconds, then type C-g to abort
the current command. Include the resulting back trace in the bug report.
