From "An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi" out of the UNIX User's Manual
(Supplementary Documents) I quote (without permission):

  1. Getting Started
  
      This document provides a quick introduction to vi.  (Pronounced vee-eye.)

Sorry if this has already been posted.  I think I recall my id posting it
to some other news group while I was asleep(8).

I think I recall seeing one wizard on a dark night with the lights out using
vi.  Maybe you were there?
