Thanks Jeff,
But as of this morning, after repeaded failed attempts, I decided to just
re-install and update the entire thing all over again. The practice will do
me some good and it will also prompt me to get more into command line
editors. So far after all my studies I have come to the conclusion that emacs
seems the best suited( numerous online lists of keyboard commands and it
seems more inclined to my type of usage) Again I thank you for your reply and
kick myself for not thinking of it, but the entire system will be installed
and updated by later tonite, I hope.
Thanks,
A J
