That's not actually what I asked for information. It might be helpful, because now it's showing an error on another line, specifically line 7. However, I'm a one problem at a time kinda guy.
Without knowing what those lines contain, I'm not sure that anyone can help you.
Hi i enter the command you gave me
Sorry about that and thanks for helping i appreciate that
