When you re-save the file after editing, ensure that your editor does
not add a .txt or some other silly extention to the filename - if it
does - it won't be read by the rc startup scripts (this is why you can
safely make backup copies of it as desribed above)

After editing, the simplest way for you to get the control file to be
re-read is to reboot your machine.

I was able to find the file the way Peter had written, made the change directly in the file but was unable to save it. It wouldn't allow overwriting. I then "opened" it in/through terminal which opened the file outside of terminal, and I still was unable to overwrite and save. How is this "private" file to be opened in a text editor?
