	It's like learning how to drive a stick.  It's a real pain and can be
very challenging but once you know it you can't imaging walking
everywhere instead of driving ever again.  But if the vi commands are
still not your thing just run the gui version of it.  Point-n-click you
way all over the place.

	If you get some spare time you might want to read up on system
security.  Then you'll have a better idea of why something are the way
they are.  It's not unnecessary complications programmers are after,
it's not putting out something as dangerous and lethal as WinXX.
