How about a good book - I used "Learning the Vi Editor" by Lamb and Robbins and published by O'Reilly. Comprehensive, well organised and quite easy reading. Soon gets you beyond the stage where the terminal bleeps every second key-press
cheers

addbib
addbib(1) User Commands addbib(1)
NAME
addbib - create or extend a bibliographic database
SYNOPSIS
addbib [-a] [-p promptfile] database
DESCRIPTION
When addbib starts up, answering y to the initial Instructions? prompt yields directions. Typing n (or RETURN) skips the directions. addbib
then prompts for various bibliographic fields, reads responses from the terminal, and sends output records to database. A null response
(just RETURN) means to leave out that field. A `-' (minus sign) means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash allows a field
to be continued on the next line. The repeating Continue? prompt allows the user either to resume by typing y (or RETURN), to quit the cur-
rent session by typing n or q, or to edit database with any system editor (see vi(1), ex(1), ed(1)).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Suppresses prompting for an abstract. Asking for an abstract is the default. Abstracts are ended with a Control-D.
-p promptfile Uses a new prompting skeleton, defined in promptfile. This file should contain prompt strings, a TAB, and the key-letters
to be written to the database.
USAGE
Bibliography Key Letters
The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below. addbib insulates you from these key-letters, since it gives you prompts in
English, but if you edit the bibliography file later on, you will need to know this information.
%A Author's name
%B Book containing article referenced
%C City (place of publication)
%D Date of publication
%E Editor of book containing article referenced
%F Footnote number or label (supplied by refer)
%G Government order number
%H Header commentary, printed before reference
%I Issuer (publisher)
%J Journal containing article
%K Keywords to use in locating reference
%L Label field used by -k option of refer
%M Bell Labs Memorandum (undefined)
%N Number within volume
%O Other commentary, printed at end of reference
%P Page number(s)
%Q Corporate or Foreign Author (unreversed)
%R Report, paper, or thesis (unpublished)
%S Series title
%T Title of article or book
%V Volume number
%X Abstract -- used by roffbib, not by refer
%Y,Z Ignored by refer
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Editing the bibliography file
Except for A, each field should be given just once. Only relevant fields should be supplied.
%A Mark Twain
%T Life on the Mississippi
%I Penguin Books
%C New York
%D 1978
