Ohh sorry for the sad first experience . That was because of the old vi editor . Please install Vim . sudo apt-get install vim or #yum install vim would get you the entire vim bundle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_%28text_editor%29#Features_and_improvements_over_vi Vim in Six Kilobytes will explain the features . http://www.vim.org/6k/features.en.txt Personally I think it will take some time for anyone to use vi editor . if you are impatient go for nano or gedit .
