When you say crontab -e,
It'll start the vi editor. Use vi commands to create it, then save.
If you are not used to vi, this'll get you going:
'i' starts insertion mode. When you are done, hit 'esc'
:w saves the file
:q exits

Now, it should show up with crontab -l

Or you can just edit the file yourself, and forget the program.
The files should be in /var/spool/cron/[username]
