Frustrated user here. Ready to give up on this idea. Trying to edit my conky.conf file. I have Leafpad and Midnight Comm. I have two sample Conky.conf files in emails on the device but they are HTML Code boxes from the forum.
I have found and copied the file /etc/conky/conky.conf to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf using Midnight Comm.
I figured out how to copy the text from the email.
I can open the file for editing in Midnight Comm.
I cannot figure out how to select all the text and replace it with the text on my clipboard (from the email).
How come the file system in the built-in file browser seems different then the one that I view in Midnight Comm? or Leafpad for that matter?
I am getting closer, but my inability to grasp this file system is giving me fits. I have limited, sporadic connectivity (deployed forward/USAF) which compounds the issue. It seems it would be just as easy as finding a file online and saving it in the location needed....
How do I get the text into the conky.conf file? This learning curve is steeper than I expected.
V/R
