Goal:

Create and save file in Vim containing at least 25 ASCII characters. The *exact keystrokes* used during the creation and saving of this file must also produce identical contents in Windows Notepad (without having to save in Notepad).

Rules:

* For the purposes of this challenge, Vim begins open in command mode.
* The mouse is **not** allowed.
* `Shift` ***is*** allowed. `Ctrl`, `alt`, or any other modifier keys are ***not*** allowed.
* Your solution must work with the **default** "terminal" (non-GUI) Vim shipped with either Ubuntu 11.04 or OS X 10.6.7 (one of the two). Assume this Vim's `.vimrc` contains only `set nocompatible` (with no line break after it), which is itself located at `~/.vimrc`. Pretend your operating system was *just* installed before opening Vim.
* You must not open any *pre-existing* files except for your `.vimrc`. Any files you create while solving this puzzle may be saved and re-opened as many times as necessary.
* Vim cannot be closed!

*Disclosure, and a possible reason to close:* I do not have a solution.
