Thank you Erich & Ronny!
Ronny, Yes "since you ask a question like that i guess you typed ip addr add.....etc.etc in shell instead of adding to interfaces file ???"...that's exactly what I did. I was concerned about what to back up, but Charles told me to back up etc.lrp to save my changes.
Then they weren't saved. You have to add those commands to the interfaces file eth0 definition (preceeded by 'up' as I described in my previous post).
