There are a number of really good clients to help with the issues you’re having. ldapvi[0] is a pretty simple client that lets you edit ldap objects in vi and commit the differences. Apache Directory Studio[1] is a more heavyweight, feature-complete client built on top of eclipse.
I really recommend you use one of these, it will make your life easier, as you seem to be making a lot of basic mistakes. If you get used to modifying your config in this way, you will learn to appreciate being able to make config changes without restarting slapd, and being able to replicate configuration between servers.

Personally I think the advice is good for users managing a directory, but the administrator of a directory server should be able to use the baic tools, just in case you messed up config so that you cannot connect to the server any more...
