That helps, but also brings up a new problem.

As you said, the text editors don't see it, so it can't be edited in the
usual way. That suggests there may be a terminal or command line method
of doing it. In addition, the relative location of this file is unclear,
so I would appreciate more suggestions on that, Thanks.
