set -o vi works on at least bash-2. RH is still using the older
variant, and has been since 2 came out a while ago. Don't know how
recent your book is. There are various ways you can make this the
default for a user.

Yes that's for programs that parse that envar, like crontab -e . Has
nothing to do with the command-line.
