The vim tutorial is probably the best way I've seen to learn vi. It is
a plain text file that you edit in vi and just do what it says. It'll
teach you how to do all the basics by actually doing them to the
directions.
I found a copy here
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/courseware/cse1402/PRACS/WEEK_3/vi-tutorial.txt
Just save it to disk and then vi it.
