VIM is a command-line text editor (if you know UNIX it called vi). If you're new, maybe you should try some more user-friendly text editor (e.g. nedit or glimmer) so I guess this person wanted to tell you to edit the file he was indicating.... (btw, just in case you are really new to Linux/UNIX, this files are in your home directory. To access it via the command line : cd $HOME)
