Join David D. Levine for an in-depth discussion in this video What you should know before watching this course, part of Learning vi.
This course assumes that you are familiar with basic UNIX command-line operations, including how to access the command line on your system using the Terminal or command-prompt application. I'll be using Mac OS X in this video, using the Vim edition of VI, but the examples should work on nearly any UNIX-based system. They should also be usable, perhaps with some changes, on any other system that supports the VI editor
