lost update on price editor under os x 9 mavericks

[nicholas shust]

haven’t messed with unix at the command level in a long time.  as it starts to come back it becomes a ‘duh’.  sorry, about the refresher course on unix.  finally, got the thing to execute. it is asking me if i want to run ‘live test’?  y/n? i don’t want to screw it up now.
