Finally cracked it. In terminal wrote sudo kate. Then used Kate to edit as suggested in 19. And problem solved. Any one any ideas why it is so hard to get root access, even sudo edit does not give it. I am fairly new to all this and it seems just a touch too hard to me. Particularly as the help files are always empty! Thank you for time Jack and Mr Russo. I like Kubuntu but I still think I shall get Win 7. For £30 it is a steal
