- As a new user to Unix and to Vi, I must say that the online manual for
- vi is absolutely no help at all!! Can't someone come up with a simple
- manual or easy-to-use tutorial for new users? Why must it be so
- complicated?
-
- So far, by hit and miss, I've figured out how to type a letter, post
- news, etc. with vi and how to get out of it when I am done (:wq) I've
- also figured out how to delete a whole line (esc dd)
-
- What I absolutely can not figure out is, how do I make corrections?
- For example, in this posting, suppose I wanted to go back up to
- line number 2 and change the word "can't" to "can not" ? How would I
- do that?
-
- Your help will be greatly appreciated!
