Sorry I misunderstood you on that one I found what you were talking about, but I edited it like I was told but I am not getting any change. :S

There is a file editor in mc, or you can use pico, ed, gedit or any other editor you may have installed. vi and emacs are a little less user friendly than the one in mc, and I always gravitate to the easy answers when reasonable. If there is a way to edit a file directly from the command line, I have not done so yet (been a Linux user since 1998), and I have no wish to try :). If reference to CLI text editors is not what you want, I am sorry, but I am not the one to help you. Maybe some one else can, -- Ernie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ICQ 41060744 Registered Linux User 247790
