My thanks, Gents, I think I have now cracked the problem (I was looking up too high, when the in game message said look at the ledge I thought it meant one had to look at the ledge and when it said one could use the mantle key I thought it meant I could use the mantle key).
Anyway I am now over that hump but have run into a new one - jumping on to a rope. I'll get there in the end I dare say. That said having been computer gaming since the mid 1980s (including all the Thief series and Dishonoured), I struggle to remember a game as frustrating as TDM. On present performance I might be ready to go for a proper mission in another 20 or 30 hours of practice. I am sure it will be worth the effort, but a note to the designers; this is a hobby game, do not give up the day job.

Can someone please tell me the trick for mantling up to the high ledge in the climbing and jumping section of the tutorial? I just cannot get it to work consistently or even often. I have managed it a few times by holding the jump key but each success was preceded by, maybe, thirty failures, I have never managed it using the dedicated mantle key. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I have no idea what.

Indeed, Mr. Ferret. I shall keep plugging away because at the end of the process I think I am going to have access to a very good game indeed. Of course, I am old, very old by current gamer standards, and have the time and the temperament to master new skills and new ideas, though I need some help sometimes. I am not sure that TDM would make it as a commercial game because too many of its potential market would not put up with the sort of experience I had in trying to get through one small, mechanistic, part of a tutorial,
