What vi clone are you using? I like vim the best. It shows the
'-- INSERT --' text at the bottom. You should press [iIoOaA] evey
time you want to enter insert mode, but if you are already in insert
mode, pressing them will naturally insert them into the document. To
install vim run
apt-get install vim-gtk vim-runtime
This will give you the console version ('vim') the GTK+ gui version
('gvim') and also the neat runtime support which includes syntax
highlighting.
