ZZ does work, and since I've never used vi when I didn't have to, I 
remember the smallest set of commands I need.

   

vi is great isn't it! I find even having used it a lot I still forget to press i before I start typing!

Oh, yes, don't we all.

Most annoying thing is when you do a load of changes and then go to save using shift ZZ and it tells you that it is a read only file! D'oh!

Never managed to get it to overide the permissions and save anyway. SUre there must be a way.

Yes, VI is certainly a one off, but it does work well, it's just  very 
quirky, and you have to get used to it, so I don't tend to send complete 
newbies to it , unless they have had previous experience.
