[arm-allstar] Adjusting/Turning Off Time Announcement?

Sorry for asking such a basic question here, but I am not at all a Linux 
person.


I'd like to adjust the time announcement on my node, either turn it off 
or adjust how often it occurs.


I'm a Windows user.


I am used to using something like WinSCP to access my node and edit 
.conf files. I have also typed the odd thing at the command prompt, but 
I have no idea what to do with the instructions I just got from a friend.


"You need to comment out the appropriate line in your crontab. crontab 
-e to bring up the crontab in Nano."


OK, so I go to the Linux prompt on my node and type:

crontab -e


I have no idea what any of what is then displayed means or refers to or 
what to alter.


Also, is there any way to edit this in a more familiar editor? Like, you 
know, Notepad in Windows?


Thanks. And again, sorry for such a basic question, but I am out of my 
depth here.


Generally, could some of these adjustments, CW/Voice ID, etc. be added 
to a menu somewhere, or is that verboten? :)


Chris
