You can use some other text editor. If vi is confusing, maybe you're lucky enough to have mcedit installed.

You can also copy the file on your machine with scp, edit it locally with your favorite editor and copy it back. My confusing editor of choice does this kind of thing transparently, as if I was working with a local file.
