Michael, Once inside the editor:
1. You can tell vim to persistently display the line and column number by using the :set ruler command. I am not sure how to make it display the filename other than by pressing CTRL-G as Tom Weniger suggested. 2. vim includes extensive documentation that can be accessed using the :help command.
