Yes, you are on the right track, if you know the minidisk location of MAINT CF1 on your res pack.

I first thought was to attach it to my other VM system and some how get to the bad CONFIG file and fix it. Am I on the right track? Sorry for all the questions I am new at this and I am learning on the run/job. I will eventually figure it out!

This illustrates a few things: 1. Always use CPSYNTAX after you change SYSTEM CONFIG. 2. Always keep a backup copy on CF2. 3. Write down on a real and electronic piece of paper the disk locations of MAINT 190, the disk with USER DIRECT on it, and MAINT CF1. It makes DEFINE MDISK and system repair soooo much easier.
