Appendix A. vi Reference

This is a quick reference to the command-line editor, vi. It is not required that you use vi; you can use any way possible to edit flat text file, such as one of the two other command-line editors that come with Mac OS X, emacs, or pico. The goal when editing command-line files is to not have a file extension on the end. GUI applications such as BBEdit and SubEthaEdit will also permit you to save files without an extension.
