Mohammed el Lozy, "Editing in a Unix Environment: The vi/ex Editor,"
Prentice Hall, Inc. (1985). Trade paper. $24.95 sticker still faintly
legible on my copy.

Very useful summary of commands given as Appendix A. The book itself is
pretty good, BTW. I see queries posted in comp.editors that look like
exercises from the book, so el Lozy seems to have picked on useful,
practical applications of the editors.
