vi basically operates in two modes - in one you can type text, and in the other you can issue commands. so, when you open it, it's in command mode. you type "i" to put it in "insert" mode where you can type. Then press the "Esc" key to enter commands - ":w" to save the file, ":q" to exit, ":q!" to exit without saving. There are tons more commands - those will just get you started - "man vi".
