No!  I am transferring from Suse 9.2, and have not used windows for a 
year and a half.  I found Windows ME (Multidysfunctional Edition) to be 
a great reason to try something else! 
 From console(after su and password), I ran nautilus.  Accessed the file 
from nautilus, and edited it with gedit.  If this is a problem, I may 
have to overcome my phobias and learn to edit things direct from console.
