Getting help with vi

[Robert Thompson]

I am starting to learn vi and am having trouble with some small areas
is there anywhere I can go to learn or ask questions about the vi
editor?

The O'Reilly book is a good place start.

I have the Unix for Dummies Quick Reference Book. There's a section on
editors. Under vi, they have all of the common commands. Worked for me.
Also, .EDUnix by Wm. Parrette has some good reference pages.

Hi,
i've been using vi for a very long time. The best book I've seen is
"The Ultimate Guide to the Vi and Ex text editors"
Hewlett Packard
ISBN 0-8053-4460-8

Although the authour of this question has given up on vi,
I'd like to note that nvi has a tutor that offers beginner
and advanced levels.

I have two documents which I have gotten from somewhere on the net,
some time in the past...

The vi FAQ:

And a vi reference:

And also

man vim

vim is basically an improved vi. It may not be available on your
system, but if it is it has a lot of advantages over vi, online
help is one.

Hey Linda, thanks for the plug. I am glad to hear that someone thinks that I have some good reference oages. They are at: http://wap.parrette.net/EDUnixGuideToVi.pdf and http://wap.parrette.net/EDUnixCompleteVi.pdf Thanks again and I hope that somebody else enjoys them as much as you did.
