To save current file in vim. In command mode (press ESC first) then :wq or ZZ (that's 2 cap Z's)

I am brand new to Knoppix.
When I go into knoppix and start vim or vi or gvim,
I can't seem to use ex commands (pressing "colon").
For example, when I type a few lines in insert mode, hit escape,
then press :q to quit, the "q" shows up in the middle of the bottom
of the screen and has no effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Terry Michaels

I found this solution:
At boot, I typed:
knoppix keyboard=us xkeyboard=us
and this did the trick.
Anybody know how I can make this a permanent
configuration?
