Okay - here's what I got.  Have tried to reproduce it as faithfully as I 
could, but spaces may be bigger or smaller.

This happened.
"An error occurred while loading http://localhost:631/admin.  Could not 
connect to local host (port 631)."

Yes - I checked this.  It is one word.

In emacs, at the end when you save - do you actually type CTRL+X   etc, 
or do you use  the Ctrl key?  Also do you type them one after the other, 
on the same line?  Do you type them separately on separate lines with 
enter between?  Any clarification would be good.  There must be a 
tutorial somewhere - I'll find and print.

Thanks in anticipation.

Oh - and logging off I get "bad EIP value".
