its not so much learning "telnet" as learning unix or linux...but as far as
editing text files, its easy...here're some basic commands to get you
started:
telnet www.yourhost.com
login: <enter it>
password: <enter it>
prompt$ pico yourfile.php
i find pico to be the quickest and easiest (and probably the "weakest") of
the text editors on *nix systems...start with it and progress if you want...
you can use the arrow keys as you'd expect...edit your file then hit
control-x, y, return to save and quit from your file and pico...at any time
you can also use ctrl-o to save your progress without quitting...
the squares in notepad were a result of you taking a file from a *nix
system....try opening it with wordpad, and you should be fine...

I wish I knew how to use Telnet. Maybe I'll search and learn.
Thank you for your help!
