ehm.. you have misunderstood what is commandmode, and what is editmode.
when you start it up, you are in commandmode, and can giv it commands as x, dd,
and stuff. if you want to give it longer commands, you press : and get your
commandline, where you can write commands, that is almost like small scripts.
to enter editmode, you press something like i, a, or A (insert, append, append
at end of line) and you get into editmode, where you type into the document.
then you press ESC to get back to commandmode again.
