Hey everybody, sorry for the amateurish question, but how do you get a file open from within the command line?

For instance, i want to edit the devmode enabler to make it visible, and i know i have to edit this file: /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/app/controllers/launcher-assistant.js

but, when i enter the command
root@castle:/home/user# vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/app/controllers/launcher-assistant.js

it simply displays the contents within the command window, leaving me unable to edit it. How do I get them to open within a text editor or something?
