+
+<p>One way to quit <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> is through <b class="KEYCAP">:wq</b>,
+which will save the current buffer before quitting. You can also quit without saving with
+<b class="KEYCAP">:q</b> or (more commonly) <b class="KEYCAP">:q!</b>. The latter is used
+when you've modified the file but do not wish to save any changes to it.</p>
+
+<p>On occasion, your machine might crash or <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt> might crash.
+However, both <tt class="COMMAND">elvis</tt> and <tt class="COMMAND">vim</tt> will take
+steps to minimize the damage to any open buffers. Both editors save the open buffers to a
+temporary file on occasion. This file is usually named similarly to the open file, but
+with a dot at the beginning. This makes the file hidden.</p>
+
+<p>This temporary file gets removed once the editor quits under normal conditions. This
+means that the temporary copy will still be around if something crashes. When you go back
+to edit the file again, you will be prompted for what action to take. In most cases, a
+large amount of your unsaved work can be recovered. <tt class="COMMAND">elvis</tt> will
+also send you a mail (from Graceland, oddly enough :) telling you that a backup copy
+exists.</p>
