Now, hold on there!
When I get to the Open Firmware window, with it's flashing cursor, and type in 
"reset-nvram" what then? Do I type a space or a comma to separate the three 
commands?
I hate to hit a return key because that executes a command, usually.
How to do these?
Do I type the first, and hit return, and wait for it to execute the command, 
and will it then return for more instructions? What?
Also, holding the C key down starts up from a CD. What CD? I will not have put 
a CD in the tray unless needed for some purpose.
Please advise...
