hey yes you can access it through terminal or do some funny stuff in the gui to get at it but terminal is your fried with cd /etc and then use something like
open -E file.plist to edit

My previous experience working with Unix systems long, long ago has helped me a few times, but my memory is a lot sketchier on that than I realized. A decade between uses can do that. I'm trying to do something rather complex and have found instructions on how to do it, but it involves editing a plist that is located in a sub directory of the /etc dir. Now, if memory serves, /etc is something that only a root user should get to. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to the plist to edit it, or even how to enable a root user. The main OS/X help seems to have an entry for this if you search for "root," but when I try to bring it up, I just get a see the same page that opens when you first activate help.

Assistence welcome. *smile*
