nano typing sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list. However, the screen problem
means I can't see the files I am trying to edit. When I think I have edited
the file I try to exit but can't. There seems to be a total block on the
system. Don't know what to do next or how to get any further!

Any ideas on how to sucessfully exit nano and save on exit please?

Thanks.
