Update code files in /usr/share/misc

You can also copy the text from the hint and create it in the terminal in emacs:

emacs update_codes

(paste in text from the hint)

ctrl-x ctrl-s to save
ctrl-x ctrl-c to exit

That's it, then do the chmod to make it executable. Emacs is easy to deal with for stuff like this, IMHO, the learning curve is slight compared to vi.

emacs, vi, ... they're all hugely massive and incredibly incomprehensable to a newbie, i'd recommend pico if you're just beginning. once you've got the terminal basics down, then you can tackel emacs or vi or whatever.
