# Exiting vi
* To exit you must be in command mode-press <Esc> if you are not in command mode
* You must press <Return> after commands that begin with a : (colon)
From Command Mode
ZZ Write (if there were changes), then quit
:wq Write, then quit
:q Quit (will only work if file has not been changed)
:q! Quit without saving changes to file

Click Ecs before typing any commands! Or you will type text in the file instead of commands.
Click 'i' to make sure you aren't in command mode. Or else you will delete a line instead of typing 'dd'.
Commands:
i to edit file
:q to close file if you haven't changed it
:q! to close file without saving changes
:w to save changes
:wq to close file with saving changes
dd to delete line
More commands:

Be patient. Experiment. Read.
And back-up the file.
