+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> allows you to open files from command mode as well as
+specifying a file on the command line to open. To open the file <tt
+class="FILENAME">/etc/lilo.conf</tt>:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<kbd class="USERINPUT">:e /etc/lilo.conf</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>If you have made changes to the current buffer without saving, <tt
+class="COMMAND">vi</tt> will complain. You can still open the file without saving the
+current buffer by typing <b class="KEYCAP">:e!</b>, followed by a space and the filename.
+In general, <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt>'s warnings can be suppressed by following the
+command with an exclamation mark.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to reopen the current file, you can do so simply by typing <b
+class="KEYCAP">e!</b>. This is particularly useful if you have somehow messed up the file
+and want to reopen it.</p>
+
+<p>Some <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> clones (for example, <tt class="COMMAND">vim</tt>)
+allow for multiple buffers to be open at the same time. For example, to open up the file
+<tt class="FILENAME">09-vi.sgml</tt> in my home directory while another file was open, I
+would type:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<kbd class="USERINPUT">:split ~/09-vi.sgml</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>The new file is displayed on the top half of the screen, and the old file is displayed
+in the bottom half of the screen. There are a lot of commands that manipulate the split
+screen, and many of these commands start to resemble something out of <tt
+class="COMMAND">Emacs</tt> The best place to look up these commands would be the man page
+for your vi clone. Note that many clones do not support the split-screen idea, so you
+might not be able to use it at all.</p>
