Rep:
Something you may find helpful is to configure CVS (the Concurrent Versions System), it may be installed on your system by default, it may not, but it's easy to find with your distribution software collection.
CVS is a version control system; i.e., you place a text file in the CVS repository then check it out for editing, edit, save it back, The nice thing is that you can manage the versions that you've saved (of just that file), you have a complete record of changes that were made and, if necessary, you can "roll them back" to a previous version.
It's not hard to learn, it's easy to use, and it beats the heck out of saving a bunch of files that you've edited and try to figure out which one needs fixing.
Hope this helps some.

Reason: Hate the blasted laptop keyboard!
as per the "genral" post by the owner of the site
post reported
@John VV: which post did you 'report'? (I don't understand why, unless #3)
Or did you mean *"Thread"* [reported]? (==post#1)
Or maybe my post in OP's other thread? (the answers here look ok to me)
fyi all, I just realized how to spot Threads likely needing response:
in ViewLatestPosts, look for ones with name of LastPost == ThreadStarter.
How to save changes while editing or modifying html source code in linux
There is no question in that post, so stop trying to answer it.
It appears the title of an article, but with no URL or content it is difficult to judge.
