In vi:

Can the cursor be moved up/down lines while in insert mode?  If I make
a mistake and don't realize it before I hit CR, I always hit <ESC> to
move up/down.  Is there an easier way?  I can always map a key, but I
was wondering if there was a natural vi feature.

My apologies if this is a faq, I don't read this very often.

Also, '0' doesn't work for me all the time. (get to start of line.) Its
not working for me now (while I'm in nn).  What could be causing this?
It also does not work when I edit files in my home directory.  It works
any other time I use vi.  Any ideas?

I am on:
