Edit Crontab

Hi

I am new to Unix and would like some assistance.

I need to edit the crontab file so that a script is set to run at 3:00 am each day.

When I telnet to the sun server and type crontab -e a black screen appears and I am unable to make any changes.

Could you advice on what is needed to edit the crontab file and what should the script say to achieve my goal.

Regards
