Right. If he's gonna play on the Terminal, he oughta learn some unix-y stuff. These key commands work in all text fields:
ctrl-a = brings cursor to the beginning of a line
ctrl-d = deletes the letter in front of the cursor
ctrl-e = brings cursor to the end of a line
ctrl-k = erases an entire line in front of the cursor
ctrl-o = acts like return, but cursor stay in the same place
ctrl-t = brings the letter that is behind the cursor forward one, switching places with the next letter.
ctrl-v = moves cursor to the end of a document, or line
ctrl-w = deletes everything behind the cursor.
I think these commands were originally from emacs, so I'm not sure if they work in vi. The HOME and END keys simply bring you to the top and bottom of a document, respectively. I can see how a person coming from Windows would not find Mac OS intuitive. You have to unlearn a lot of bad habits.
