vim will tell you lots of these kinds of answers once you know
how to ask it...
:help save
:help edit
:help window
:help paragraph
:help }
:help :s
:help u
:help ^R
:help ^W
(hit control-w then q to close the help window -- or any other
vim buffer)
not to mention
:options ...see ":help :options"
:dig ...try ":help :dig"
:reg ...see ":help :reg"

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #70 from Jeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
The Debian-specific command:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
allows you to quickly CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT WINDOW MANAGER. You
might fiddle with "x-session-manager" settings instead, if it's
appropriate for your Debian setup.
Try "man update-alternatives" to see a list of some of the
other default settings you may alter with the command.
