Hi,

Im doing vimtutor. In particular, this:

1. Start editing the "vimrc" file.  This depends on your system:
        :e ~/.vimrc             for Unix
        :e $VIM/_vimrc          for MS-Windows

  2. Now read the example "vimrc" file contents:
        :r $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim

  3. Write the file with:
        :w

  The next time you start Vim it will use syntax highlighting.
  You can add all your preferred settings to this "vimrc" file.
  For more information type  :help vimrc-intro


And the first time i did :e~/.vimrc it was allowing me to edit. then i
got off the page as i didntk know what to type. Now i cant even open
the file to edit as when i type the command :e ~/.vimrc it says: E37:
No write since last change (add ! to override). And so i just open the
example  :r $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim and use "v" to select it and
use :w vimrc to write it to my vimrc file and it says the same thing.

help? thanks
