Search this site for "vi tutorial" and you will find a link to a README that includes tutorials for lots of unix stuff, including a couple specifically for vi.
As I mentioned, I am on Solaris. Perhaps you are on a different OS which would require a different syntax for setting the editor.

GET_END(3) Library Functions Manual GET_END(3)
NAME
get_end, get_etext, get_edata - get values of UNIX link editor defined symbols
SYNOPSIS
#include <mach-o/getsect.h>
unsigned long get_end();
unsigned long get_etext();
unsigned long get_edata();
DESCRIPTION
These routines provide a stopgap measure to programs that use the UNIX link-editor defined symbols. Use of these routines is very strongly
discouraged. The problem is that any program that is using UNIX link editor defined symbols (_end, _etext or _edata) is making assumptions
that the program has the memory layout of a UNIX program.
This is an incorrect assumption for a program built by the Mach-O link editor. The reason that these routines are provided is that if very
minimal assumptions about the layout are used and the default format and memory layout of the Mach-O link editor is used to build the pro-
gram, some things may work by using the values returned by these routines in place of the addresses of their UNIX link-editor defined sym-
bols. So use at your own risk, and only if you know what your doing. Or better yet, convert the program to use the appropriate Mach or
Mach-O functions. If you are trying to allocate memory use vm_allocate(2), if you are trying to find out about your address space use
vm_region(2) and if you are trying to find out where your program is loaded use the dyld(3) functions.
The values of the UNIX link-editor defined symbols _etext, _edata and _end are returned by the routines get_etext, get_edata, and get_end
respectively. In a Mach-O file they have the following values: get_etext returns the first address after the (__TEXT,__text) section, note
this my or may not be the only section in the __TEXT segment. get_edata returns the first address after the (__DATA,__data) section, note
this my or may not be the last non-zero fill section in the __DATA segment. get_end returns the first address after the last segment in
the executable, note a shared library may be loaded at this address.
