I'm trying to do so but every time I try it turns into a tmp file. Do I have
to worry about this? I realize that it is saying that the recovery was
successful but this happens everytime with every file I edit with vi. What is
the problem?

    Swap files found:
       Using specified name:
    1.    .sources.list.swo
              owned by: root   dated: Thu Dec 11 10:07:54 2003
             file name: /etc/apt/sources.list
              modified: no
             user name: root   host name: bmike1
            process ID: 3043 (still running)
    2.    .sources.list.swp
              owned by: root   dated: Thu Dec 11 00:34:23 2003
             file name: /etc/apt/sources.list
              modified: no
             user name: root   host name: bmike1
            process ID: 2162 (still running)
       In directory ~/tmp:
          -- none --
       In directory /var/tmp:
          -- none --
       In directory /tmp:
          -- none --

    
    Enter number of swap file to use (0 to quit): 2
    Using swap file ".sources.list.swp"
    Original file "/etc/apt/sources.list"
    E308: Warning: Original file may have been changed
    Recovery completed. You should check if everything is OK.
    (You might want to write out this file under another name
    and run diff with the original file to check for changes)
    Delete the .swp file afterwards.

    
    Hit ENTER or type command to continue
