Answer:

To type new text into a file in the vi editor on a Linux system and have the existing text that comes after the cursor pushed down, you would use Insert Mode. In Insert Mode, you can directly type new text, and it will be inserted at the cursor position, pushing the existing text to the right or down, depending on your cursor position within the line. To enter Insert Mode, press the "i" key in Command Mode.
