Hey There,
Check this page for all the options:
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_ed.htm
As for the insert mode, it's the same as vi. i will put you in insert mode at the position you are, and "a" will put you in insert mode right after your position in the file. You can exit insert by doing a ctl-c or any interrupt signal.
Best wishes,
Mike
