    When you edit multiple files in vi,
    (whether you start from the command line like "vi file1 file 2. . . ",
    or by starting vi with a single file or with no file argument at all,
    in which case you can load a file from inside the vi with the
    vi command ':n <file_to_load>'),
    you can cycle from a file to the next
    (and when you are at the last,you restart with
    the first and so on,like in a "ring")
    inside the editor with the command ':n#' (yes, ":n#")

    Cheers
