With the jed editor you can use your arrow keys and PgUp and PgDn keys to navigate the config file. When your done editing you hold the Contol key down while at the same time holding down the keys X and S to save your changes. Hold the Contol key again with X and C to exit jed.
If you think you messed something up severely, e.g., deleted a whole paragraph of mpd.conf, just exit jed using Control X C. At the bottom of the screen jed will ask you whether you want to save your changes by answering Y or N. Just hit N. The just re-edit mpd.conf via the command jed /etc/mpd.conf
You might also want to install jed on your desktop to look at the manual page for a tutorial on how to use jed.
command: apt-get install jed
command: man jed
I don't think man pages are installed on Voyage Linux so as to save space.
If the man page is a bit overwhelming you can also use Google to find tutorials on jed or another simple editor called pico.
