[Locomotive-users] can I uninstall/reinstall?

[Holly Fortenberry]

Thank you for the tips Alex.  I did not realize about the copy/paste 
line-feed character issue although that makes good sense.  I am sure 
that must be what happen.  I will try that again. 

Also, I didn't realize about launching apps from within Locomotive.  I 
planned to study how to use it once I got a good install.  I am afraid 
to go too far with the apps in case I further mess up my install.  I 
guess I need to learn more about Locomotive.  Honestly, I thought it was 
just an install app, like Fink Commander.  I didn't realize I was to use 
it every time I use ruby on rails.  No wonder.

thank you much,
Holly
