I'm not sure what use case is described here.  If keybindings have
been modified, we probably aren't talking about a complete newcomer to
Emacs, so at least simple cursor motion should already be a skill
he/she already acquired, right?  He/she might already know to scroll
with PgDn or the mouse wheel, right?

OTOH, in a customized session, we can reasonably expect to see a
window that is larger than the default shown by "emacs -Q", and maybe
then the beginning of the tutorial will still be visible?

And if none of the above helps, then what kind of solution would you
propose for such a situation?
