I used a gnome terminal window with two tabs. In one I listed the files in
/boot/
x...@xxx-desktop:~$ ls /boot
abi-2.6.27-7-generic memtest86+.bin
abi-2.6.31-14-generic System.map-2.6.27-7-generic
config-2.6.27-7-generic System.map-2.6.31-14-generic
config-2.6.31-14-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-7-generic
grub vmcoreinfo-2.6.31-14-generic
initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic
initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
In the other tabbed terminal copy menu.lst for safety:
x...@xxx-desktop:!$ sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.safe
Then edit like this:
x...@xxx-desktop:!$ sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
Page down, toward the end you will see the available choices as GRUB new
exists. Mine was:

A typo prevented this from working the first time, copy from the first
tabbed terminal listing then pasting into nano works better.
