Thanks for the reply, Matthew.

I noticed the use of the word "forum" throughout as I was searching this
website so I thought it was a forum. Sorry.

I will take a look at those links you suggested.

As for the file addresses, I tried to include them as they are listed in
Windows Explorer and as I see them when I look in Cygwin. There is one file
listed at /etc but there are two files listed at /etc/defaults/etc. Sorry
for any confusion.

Thanks for the info!

Mark
