<tt>vi</tt> doesn't provide much in the way of interactive help (most UNIX
programs don't), but you can always read the man page for <tt>vi</tt>.
<tt>vi</tt> is a visual front-end to the <tt>ex</tt> editor; it is <tt>ex</tt>
which handles many of the last-line mode commands in <tt>vi</tt>. So, in
addition to reading the man page for <tt>vi</tt>, see <tt>ex</tt> as well.
