"It is not like the vi editor needs introducing to seasoned UNIX users. The vi
editor, originally developed by Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems, is an endlessly
extensible, easy-to-use light ASCII editor and the bane of the newbie existence.
This column will introduce the vi editor to the newbie and perhaps toss in a few
ideas for the seasoned user as well. Since I am such a huge fan of vi, I most
certainly intend on following up on this column later on this year with more
advanced vi topics."
"The first half of the column will overview editing, saving, yanking/putting and
navigating a file within a vi session. The second half will be a step by step sample
vi session to help get started."
