Chances are that if you are using slackware 9 you aren't really using vi, but elvis or vim or another vi clone. If it is vim then you most likely have a vimtutor command that will work through a tutorial with you on the keystrokes. Within vi you can try :help (note the colon) and it should give you a list of topics on which help is available, then :help topic will show you more specific help on key strokes and the like. -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others.
