ok, Louis

That sounds like something I can handle (I've used the "-f" option 
before), and I can handle the editor.

I've had to revert my snapshot for now, but I'll get an earlier start on 
it tomorrow to prevent that.

The office is beginning to wake-up, and I noticed my Samba services were 
not started in the state it was in, so that prevented the early-logins.  
You've been a big help.  I'll report back tomorrow morning.
