[For the entire collection see Zbl 0744.00027.] The author considers distal minimum flows (definitions of all notions used in the paper are introduced or recalled in Sec. 1: Preliminaries) on phase spaces being finite dimensional compact Hausdorff spaces (fulfilling also -- in some propositions -- additional conditions). Groups acting on that spaces are assumed to be elementary nilpotent Lie groups. It is proved (Sec. 1) that if \(M\) is a topological manifold, \(F\) is a subgroup of \(T\) then the \(F\)-orbit closure of any element of \(M\) is also a manifold. There is given also a necessary condition for a topological group to admit effective distal flows. A construction of free distal flows on manifolds is presented in Sec. 2. In Sec. 3 certain properties of suspensions of flows are discussed.
