The /etc/profile is giving me trouble. Cannot get out of it gracefully.

Have edited home/Thomas/.bash_profile, but no further. This seems awfully involved compared to the last time I got this installed and working.
Be sure that you press [ESC] first - then : then either q to quit or qw to save (then press enter of course)

That should be all you need to exit it - if you have serious issues with vi, use emacs or something else - I like emacs too. If in doubt, do a man vi or man emacs for more detailed instructions on each editors operation.
