## 3.12.11 Getting help

`vi` doesn't provide much in the way of interactive help (most UNIX programs don't), but you can always read the man page for `vi`. `vi` is a visual front-end to the `ex` editor; it is `ex` which handles many of the last-line mode commands in `vi`. So, in addition to reading the man page for `vi`, see `ex` as well.
