I can bottom that! 

This is funny. I knew that when I wrote about an (almost) barest 
minimum of commands, that it would be impossible for others to 
_not_ add other commands or redocument the wheel. 

For basic information _about_ vi: 

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)

After that, for tutorials: 

   http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=vi+tutorial
   http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=vim+tutorial

After that, read the manuals: 

   http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_toc.html

Then just to troll: 

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war

Of course, the one true editor is emacs, 
but one must still know how to use vi. 

Stephen, did I miss anything?
