Notice Insert shows at the bottom of the form during this mode. Add your entry. Use the arrow keys to drive around the template. The lines that begin with CVS are informative, and will not show as part of your commits. When your edits are complete, press the Esc
key to leave the Insert mode. Type :wq
to write and quit the cvs template. The template closes and the commit process continues in the working terminal window.
