That message means (in this case) that you've already added help.txt (in
this working copy), so you can't add it again. If you do "sip status" (sip
status is your friend!), you will see something like this:
A help.txt
Which means that help.txt has been added in the WC, but that addition has
not been committed to the repository.

"svn commit" needs a description for the change to the repository. You can
specify the text of the description with "-m 'This is the description.'" or
you can put the description in a file, and say "-F foo/bar/file-name". But
if you do neither, svn tries to run your favorite editor for you. Usually
in a Unix environment, your "favorite editor" is the program named in the
environment variable $VISUAL, or if that fails, $EDITOR. Only after you
have successfully exited the editor, does svn do the commit operation.
In your case, the editor is "vi". If you don't know how to use vi, you
should talk to your system administrator to see what to do. In the mean
time, use -m or -F.
