Hi,

Do you want to edit a file in HP-UX env ? You can use # vi to do that. Or you want something else ?

Hi,

Just move to the desired line using j if you wish to add something in the same line move the cursor to thatposition using l and then press i to start insertion. At the end of insertion press Esc key and then using :wq you can quit.

Man vi for details.

Hi,

If you have some x-session running. X editor will be an easy option to edit the file.
