Oooh, I just ran into this today. ;) (Also a newbie vi user) Escape to command mode, i is to insert befor cursor, right? a will append after cursor. Now a capital A will append at the end of the line, and I will insert before the line. Nuked jed, making myself use vi. Yup. Its not so bad when you got a cheat sheet. ;) > guess the Motif text widget must be really good.
