Hey, thanks for replying - I actually tried using notepad first (.txt) but that wouldnt even open in Ubuntu. I had Word documents on my usb that I was able to open in Ubuntu though - when I then tried putting the Ubuntu terminal command into a Word document it turned into gibberish =/

Google led me to this which might be helpful:

The reason the word file came out as gibberish is that Word files are
not text files, but are in fact gibberish (if interpreted as text
files). *If you want to write a text file in windows you must use a
simple text editor not Word. *Notepad used to be the way to do this.
