using less

[icemanlinux0]

i wish to get tor from the "tor project" for my lenny...
i have opened /etc/apt/sources.list with less...
but i cannot figure out how to add/write to this file...
the documentation for less seems to be geared towards reading and moving around not writing and saving...
thanks to anybody who helps

this is just the first of many hurdles i must jump haha

the documentation for less seems to be geared towards reading and moving around not writing and saving...

Which could be interpreted as a first subtle hint that this program is meant to be a file viewer, not an editor

Popular text editors are,
for the command line: nano, pico, vi, emacs, ...
for the graphical user interface: gedit, kate, kwrite, ...

If you want an overview about what tools to use for what, maybe this is for you:
