Go into xterm, change directory to the directory you saved above file to.
HOW DO I CHANGE DIRECTORY?
You change directory with command "cd", for example "cd /home/user" (without quotation marks of course). You can find information about some basic commands in here http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/commands.htm for example.

WHAT DOES 'BECOME ROOT MEAN AND HOW DO I DO IT?
You need to install rootsh via application manager and then you can become root in xterm with command "sudo gainroot". WHEN ROOT, DON'T DO ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

I HAVE LOOKED AT THE STORAGE ON MY N900 (THROUGH CONNECTING TO MY PC AND EXPLORING FOLDERS ON N900 THROUGH MY PC) AND CANT FIND A FOLDER NAMED USR?
That's because the folder that is visible to computer in mass storage mode is /home/user/MyDocs so you see only files and directories under that.
