Is there a comprehensive list on the net somewhere listing the various shortcut keys on how to operate this editor? Heh, I'm not even sure how to bring up the help screen. []/testimages/icons/laugh.gif[/] []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/] 6 []/testimages/icons/frown.gif[/] Screamers

You can either do a man vi to read the man pages or you can do a :h to get to the help screen from within vi itself.

The manual is too cryptic for real help to newsbies. Check out this tutorial:

I had to lean it in college for a C class. I use it all the time now, and it's much better than pico, but it is highly unintuitive.

See if you have PICO installed, it is much much much easier than vi to use ;-)
Just go to the prompt and type "pico" sans quotes.
