A month on the command line, Day 5: I don't have a vi coffee mug

The vi coffee mug -- it's been suggested, but instead I downloaded and printed a couple of reference sheets for vi, the best of which is Donald J. Bindner's single-page Vi Reference Card. The best thing about it is that it keeps everything on one page (and doesn't bleed off the page like the Debian Reference Card.)

I also have Using the VI Editor (here's the PDF version), which is also pretty good but on two pages. I'll have to tape them together, because I need to see EVERYTHING at once.

I probably should get the O'Reilly book on vi, but that would be overkill at this point.

You might ask whether or not I'm coding the HTML by hand in these entries. Yes, I am.
