If you just type vimtutor, or aleast it is this way on my Debian boxes, it launches a good tutorial.

www.vim.org , check documentation and download the vimbook :) . You can use vimtutor as well, and you will find an user guide at /usr/doc/vim or something like this. Anyway, something to help you before reaching these sources:
1) Esc brings you back to command mode.
2) To insert text, press i . to issue other commands after inserting, esc.
3) In normal (command) mode, :w filename you save your work
4) :wq! leaves and overwrites, no questions asked.
5) at least you can leave the program now.. there´s a storm coming, and i want to save my modem. cya!
