Editing multiple files in vi is possible in two different ways:

1. invoke vi with multiple files on the command line


2. use command :e from within vi

Once the files are loaded, movement from one file to another can be
accomplished using following commands:

:n     - next file

:e#    - previous file

Ctrl-^ - last edited file, keep cursor on last edited line
