They are all editors, vi , vim or emacs. I would guess that emacs is
in an additional package not included in the default install and is an
editor that full time programmers like. You can use any of them for
reading but that is a bit of overkill. Unix also has "view" which
behaves like vi but by default is read only. You can also read files
with "cat", "more" or "less" with "less" being the best option since it
lets you page back and forward through the file.
As I said in an earlier reply, buy O'Reilys "UNIX in a Nutshell" since
it has a brief synopsis of all these commands as well as sections on
shells, awk, sed etc. Well worth the price since it will get you
going on all things UNIX.
