On the same note, I find that nano is very easy to use with OpenSSH for Windows.

I don't know how to do that, but if you want to use nano or pico for editing crontab files, you can do:In your home directory, edit the file .bash_profile and add the following lines:export VISUAL=/usr/bin/nano export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano Then save the file and re-login with your username.Each time you will want to make changes to the crontab, you will just need to do:$ crontab -eThis will open crontab in nano. You can edit it then save it with Control+X like any other file. I don't know what putty can do, but with SecureCRT you can even paste text from the Windows clipboard to nano.Octavian----- Original Message ----- From: "Eileen Lafond" <Eileen.Lafond@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 11:36 PM Subject: Replacing crontabs 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 myfileI 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.
