Yeah, that's true.  It was still new though and I was like the kid
who kept pulling up the carrots to watch them grow. Having that
GUI available was/is a big temptation. ;-)

On another level I was annoyed that my changes to sudoers didn't work
as expected.  I'd still like to figure that one out just to learn
what I'm doing wrong and how the it all works.

Anyway, Firestarter appears to be a good choice for my situation.
