In the original question i asked what was the command to write & exit from
vipw...the program thats used to edit the /etc/passwd file. I was using

ESC - :ZZ & :wq!

however the file would not get written to

The answers i recieved really didnt help that much. Almost everyone
responded with use
:wq!

this doesnt work !

In calling Sun support (yes i have a sun contract thank god)
i was told that vipw...more importantly
/usr/ucb/vipw  is not supported and is being removed eventually

in fact everything that is in the /usr/ucb/  diretory is to be removed
from future releases at some point. and is conciderded LEGACY or old and
will be unsupported & removed in the future.
