Derek, I appreciate the advice. Based upon the certainty with which you 
state it, it appears you know what I need to do. But I am not able to 
follow the instructions without more details.

Please understand that I am humbled by all these new Linux terms and 
concepts. I started using a computer some 20 years ago when everything was 
either DOS or Apple or TRS-80. I am now encountering the same frustration 
with the learning curve for Linux. And I have a greater appreciation for 
the problems facing those I try to teach how to use a Windows machines. 
What seems simple and obvious to me is not simple and obvious to them.

Having said that, please address the following questions?

I'm stuck right there. I have looked and looked but do not find any menu 
that says View>Show Hidden. Can you be more specific as to how to get to 
it? For example, let's say I have the desktop displayed. The K icon is in 
the lower left corner (that's Konqueror, right?). I click on it and that 
displays a long menu. What do I click on next to get to this function?

>Navigate in your home directory to .kde/share/config

After the previous step, will .kde/share/config be in the same menu or are 
there intermediate steps to get to it?

>Right click on kmailrc and select an editor

If there is more than one editor, which is most likely to be easiest for me 
to understand and use?

When you say "edit out" shall I assume you mean "delete"? Or am I modifying 
something?

I already have seen enough of Linux to anticipate that I probably will not 
know what file name or extension I am looking for. Can you be more specific?

As for "adjust the account numbers", does that mean that there will be a 
prompt of some sort? iIf not how will I recognize what needs adjustment and 
how will i do that?

"the?" file. Can you tell me what that file name is? I don't doubt there 
will be many to choose from.
