:q!
As in, type colon then q then exclamation mark and press enter.
elvis is vi (basically), so you need to know how that works. Like
edlin, but a full screen version. so to insert text, you have to press i
first, enter your text and press Escape when finished. Or you can
append text with a, delete a character with x, etc.
iirc, you can get help with the help command. (commands start
with a colon)
Did you try Ctrl-C? that usually kills most processes. Ctrl-Z usually
stops it and gives you a system prompt. Failing that, login again
and use kill to kill it. :-) [ps or top to list processes]

Theres lots of resources on the web for it :-)
I went looking on my current linux installation and have vim...
There is documentation in /usr/doc/vi[press tab]

How did you install linux? all my distro's had/have no problems with
missing files.
I've missed some of this discussion...
