All the vi you ever need to know :-)

The real problem is when you get dumped into some editor other than you one 
you expected and don't realize it for a while.  It's really amazing how 
much damage you can do to a file by typing (for example) emacs commands at 
vi.  Especially if you accidentally stumble upon the sequence for "save 
file".
