Warning totally understood; when I say "I'm guessing...?" I will always
wait for confirmation and direction.

I did the "sudo visudo" and inserted the appropriate line ala Wiki, now how
do I close and save that? A simple "sudo visudo" has given me the same
editor in the past and in closing it with the X top left corner I'm told a
process is still running, or something to that effect, and I choose "close
anyway" because I didn't really initiate anything. I'd like to, and will
wait for instruction as to how-to, exit this "sudo visudo" properly this
time.

And here is the paste bin:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6063354/

Very grateful for all your guidance and patience Bill, thanx Daryl
