Okay I am not the best at UNIX, so please excuse this if it is a complete ID 10-T error (look at that for a moment...)
Logging in via telnet to the server, I want to create a cron job to run various "canned reports" in SAS on a regular basis. No problem, I have the directories, .profile locations, etc... but actually setting it up is CONFUSING.
Where do I go to type in the string 01 05 * * 6 <username> <profile> <att1> <att2> type field?
I have run crontab -e <userid> and it shows two jobs my admin set up for me... I hit "i" to insert a new line... but it only inserts one line (the entire command is 4 lines).

CRON(8) System Manager's Manual CRON(8)NAME
cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)
SYNOPSIS
cron
DESCRIPTION
Cron should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. It will return immediately, so you don't need to start it with '&'.
Cron searches /var/spool/cron for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory. Cron
also searches for /etc/crontab and the files in the /etc/cron.d/ directory, which are in a different format (see crontab(5)). Cron then
wakes up every minute, examining all stored crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the current minute. When execut-
ing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if
such exists).
Additionally, cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory's modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has,
cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed. Thus cron need not be restarted whenever a crontab
file is modified. Note that the Crontab(1) command updates the modtime of the spool directory whenever it changes a crontab.
