Probably the best thing to do is use "Save As" to save it in your home directory or somewhere else where you have write access. Then you can become root and move/copy the file from that directory to where it needs to be. For good measure, you might want to first move your current config file to a backup file. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
