Chris, Got back to it this pm and with a bit of help on linux talk and methods I was able to edit the /ect/default/grub file as recommended and updated grub, rebooted and got emc2 up and running.
Many thanks!!! You too Mike!!! command line to emacs ThePath was the way to go. The rest of the edit happened in the GUI but with root privileges so the save worked.
