    Your right Murray and I will include a screen shot. That will help. 
And the way it seems to work is in a Terminal you type $ jedit filename 
and it then lets you type in what you want. But I see no panels where 
you can hit save file. I found where they say Control-s will save but it 
doesn't for me.

Thus my problems.
