newbie question about vim

[Shaye87]

when i enter edit mode with vim, "vim file", how do i save changes and close the window? my first time :|

Hit Esc to enter command mode then:
:q = quit
:q! = quit no save
:wq = quit & save
:w = save

Great command list here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html lots of them!

Best of luck learning vim - persevere though its a handy little tool to know your way around.
