ok. I understand that to access the NETMAP file is with issuing the command vi NETMAP. However, to make changes I need to be in 'write' mode. Can someone let me know how to enter write mode?

Cheers
So, I'm presented with the following screen when I enter vi NETMAP. I want to edit the file so I type E but when I try to save the file with the command qw I get them message that I'm not in editor mode.

Any thoughts?
