   I'm online, typed "chfn" to change Finger info, and I don't understand the
   editor!

           Stuck in "chfn" HELL! I need to get out without saving changes... I
   also need to know what editor is being used so I can "man" it to find out
   how to use it properly...

Probably vi.  -wicked-grin-  To exit without saving the changes, hit escape
and type:

:quit!

Be happy...
