Using Midnight Commander open a terminal (<alt + F1-F6>) browse /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTO's for your problematic subject, read there and do your work in another terminal. Takes time, true, but gives a lot of satisfaction when the job is done. And makes you a lot smarter, knowing that you can do it. HTH Stanislaw. Slack user from Ulladulla.
