Greetings,

   How about...    "man 1 vi "   for starters.   :-)

Two of my personal favorite references for these kinds 
of things are...

1) 4.4 BSD User's Reference Manual
                    and
2) UNIX for Dummies Quick Reference

Both are great for looking up simple things
quickly without having to scroll through the man pages.
For me, it's a little faster, especially when I have to consult
multiple references simultaneously.

Good luck

Randy
