Thanks!

It appears this XML file just controls the configuration of the screen saver setup dialog itself, not the actual screen saver. This is curious: The Text Program control is commented out in the XML file: <!-- <file id="program" _label="Text Program" arg="-program %"/> --> That explains why the control isn't there. I didn't screw with it, so why is it commented out? I uncommented it and now the widget appears on the setup dialog. The screen blanker wouldn't work with just the name of the text file. The message scrolled by indicates the shell tried and failed to execute the file. So, entering " cat nameofmyfile " instead works fine.
