I don't want to start a holy war, but suggesting that a newcomer use vi 
without making sure they know how to use it can be a formula for 
disaster; it's not exactly new-user friendly.  Adam, if you're not 
familiar with vi, consider using nano, as it's got all of the most 
common commands right at the bottom of the screen for you.  (Hint: ^G is 
a very, very old computer shortcut for Ctrl-G.)  That's not to say you 
shouldn't use vi if that's what you like, just that nano is easier to 
use if you've never seen either of them in use before.
