Try 'x', but not in insert mode.

Most of the time I can get vi to insert characters after entering 'i'

Also know how to :wq etc

But I can't figure out how to delete characters: my book says
ndd will delete N lines; but it doesn't work.  In insert mode,
backspace key often changes case of letters.  Del key doesn't
delete anything.
