So you wrote ci passwd instead of vi passwd and you lost your password file.

DO NOT PANIC!

Type co passwd and bring it back.

And now that you’ve cooled down you can read rcsintro(1).

Ahhh, there must be lots of kids around who never learned what RCS is. (Saying “is” here, because it’s still here, even if it’s more of a “hasbeen”.) When I had read only the title of the post, I thought “should have used `ci -l`” (finger habits), then I read on and noticed that you’re talking about a different mistake :-)
