That shows how useful it is to be familiar with the Linux tools.  But 
according to Vincent, you could have fixed it with a menu choice, which is 
easier for most of us.  I have been using Linux for only a few years, since 
there were KDE and GNOME.  I like using the command line, but not for an easy 
fix like that.
