Glad I could help. I'm still learning but I'll help where I can.

GUIs obviously have their place, and they can reduce the chance of doing 
something stupid, but I think that once you have some idea what you are 
doing it's still quicker and easier to edit a text file than to click 
your way around a GUI. Not everyone agrees with me though - particularly 
people from the MS Windows world (ever tried to do serious hacking on 
the Windows registry with the normal regedit though? Yuck!).

Cheers

Andy
