Hi,
I use Putty and JAWS version 9.   JFW does not work well with the VI editor so 
what I do is the following when I need to replace the crontabs:

crontab -l > myfile

I then make all my changes in UltraEdit.  

The problem now is that I cannot find my documentation as to how to put the new 
crontabs back to replace the old ones.  I think that it is the following:

crontab myfile

I am not sure though.  Can anyone help me with this?  I know that it is a very 
simple statement to get this done, but...

Thanks for any help.
