Thanks :-)

Yeah, shell is a bad name for the console or terminal. Pico not found?
Hmm. That means it's probably not installed.

If you are using KDE, try editor or advanced editor - they are very
simple like pico, except they run in the KDE gui. Sorry I can't remember
what menu they are under, but you can get to them from the menu system.
That is if they are installed....

If you are using Gnome, try Gedit. Again, I can't recall exactly what
menu it lives in. 

Opening the file should be quite easy in either; they are gui driven. 

If they aren't installed, try emacs- the version I run on RedHat 7.1
allows you to use the mouse with the console so it shouldn't be too bad.

Type emacs in the console. 

HTH
