vimtutor 

You start entering text with a or i (depending on if you want it 
before or after the current letter). Press escape to return to command 
mode, then type :wq to save and quit (:w saves, :q quits. If you don't 
want to save the changes, use :q! ). 

That should be enough. Knowing how to use vim is very important, you 
should at least learn, even if you don't user it.
