I guess it was in the 80s, open a new xterm, ps -edaf | grep vi, kill the process, then man vi to read how to exit properly.

This is how I learnt unix, do a ls in /bin /usr/bin /etc, man every command

If it was the 80s, didn't you have to feed punch cards through the mainframe first? /s

Already had huge X Terminal on HP mainframe, using X11R3 and mwm etc. xeyes, xload, xbiff, xterm, it was the time!

Similar. I'd guess it was something like ctrl-z; ps -e vi; kill -9 procnum on a vt100 terminal.
