You man be familiar with some word processors that include hundreds of commands, build-in menus, and features that extend to almost desktop publishing. Well vi is not one of those programs. vi is a visual editor that makes it easy for you to use the full screen as you create and maintain files. Such files may include shell script, source code, mail, documents or reports. One big advantage is that you can edit documents via a telnet window - try doing that with Word!
