The underlining with "^^^^^^" was only meant to make it easier for you to spot which part of this long line you have to change. The only thing you have to do is to replace the text "version.h" with "utsrelease.h". The rest of line 48 (and the rest of the file) should stay as it is. If your question was meant to be more general, i.e. "how can I edit ASCII files", then see for example here: http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Using_Joe_as_your_editor Finally, your chances of many people joining in and helping you will improve if you change your posting style.
