That pretty much worked. I like the "sed" command! I had to run it
without "s/^#//g" for it to execute properly. Not sure what that does,
but I know without it, I'll retain the "#" that I need to access the
ASCII files. 

Talk about gibberish. Don't know even know what these symbols mean and
I'm editing scripts! I suppose it's not to dissimilar from literary
work. :)
