I would add the mark command too.

at any line do m followed by a letter and you get a mark
then you can always go back to that mark by using the ' followed by that same 
letter.

also you can use the goto mark ' to do command line thingies.

for instance open up a file and goto a line somewhere and type ma
goto another line further down and type mb

to goto the 'a' mark then just type 'a, similarly goto mark b by typing 'b

to yank the lines from mark a to mark b for instance you can do :'a,'b yank
etc.

I use this all the time and it is easy to remember.

Just my $0.02,
Jerry
