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?

You have to be root.

You can get root in the terminal with "sudo tcsh" or "sudo bash" (depending on which shell you prefer).
