Root busybox vi commands

[robotobos]

hey all

im trying to edit txt within busybox vi, but i need help with saving/exit

im running it out of the terminal emulator, and have ctrl set up as <vol. up>,
so i believe i need to do <vol up><sym><1> to enter command mode, but i cant seem to get typical vi commands to work (zz) for write/exit.

ok if i get past that then i have mounted system as rw, but within the vi it says [read only]. will this be an issue? thanks!
