You obviously are struggling with a kind of vi editor.
It has got two modes. It starts in command mode, where cursor keys work and commands like :wq can be done. With the i key you enter the insert mode. With the Esc key you return to command mode.
More help:
Code:
man vi

Or google for: vi quick reference
