Do you want one of us to type commands for all instructions you posted ?
Seems like a question from a linux course.

Vi (vim) is an editor.  I'm not sure why you want to do these from an editor, but you can.

<li>how to do these things in VI edit please some one?
<li> 1. Login to your directory<br>
cd ; vi
#or, you can use 'netrw'...
vi ~/.

<li>2. make a subdirectory name with a "01" at the end of your name
USe your name as the subdirectory name with a "01" at the end of your name
Ie "your name "01"<br>
:!mkdir ${USER}01
#that is: colon exclamation-point mkdir space dollar{USER}01

<li>3 make another subdirectory under your home directory and use 02 at the end of your name<br>
:!mkdir ${USER}02

<li>4. change directory to the "your name "01 directory<br>
:cd ${USER}01
#or, using netrw, use down-arrow or "j" down to your directory, then enter

<li>5 create a file in the "your name 01" directory<br>
:e myfile
#make your changes
:w myfile

<li>6 return to your home directory<br>
:cd ..
#or :cd ~

<li> 7. Enter the command ls-1, how do you tell directory from an ordinary file<br>
:!ls -l |less
#colon ls dash (lowercase)L vertical-bar less
look for listings with permissions that begin "d", for directory

<li>8 Enter the command ls, how do you a directory from a n ordinary file?
