Your correct, that's the place, but there is a .list file for each of
the repositories. If I remember right, when I was using plain Ubuntu
they all were in one big file. I also discovered I should be using
Software Sources to change these files.
This leads to another couple of questions. The ppa in question was for
Python 3.6. I disabled the old ppa do I have to uninstall Python 3.6
before using the new private ppa?
Also I am wondering how to install the new private ppa as I need to log
in to get access to it. Above I should have said I received access to
the new private ppa from him not a new .deb.
Thanks, Jim
