Also remember that for ".conf" files that are assigning values to environment variables, last assignment wins. So, sometimes I just use "echo" to append a new value to the file so that I can get the system up. (3270 copy and paste also helps input the line.) Then later on I use vi to remove the duplicate assignment.
