Who double posted where? I don't see it.

I was guilty, but deleted.
Thank you for your suggestion on the e200rpatcher.mac. Following your instructions WORKED!!
I am a true 'know nothing" when it comes to Terminal, so I was essentially starting from scratch.
Numerous visits to the Terminal help file taught me that once I changed permissions and made the file executable (this after countless feeble attempts) the easiest way to open it was to drag it from the desktop directly to the Terminal window .... success!
Here's what it looked like:

Attach your E200R in "manufacturing mode" as follows:
1) Power-off your E200R
2) Turn ON the lock/hold switch
3) Press and hold the SELECT button and whilst it is held down,
attach your E200R to your computer via USB
4) After attaching to USB, keep the SELECT button held for 10 seconds.
NOTE: If your E200R starts in the normal Sansa firmware, you have
failed to enter manufacturing mode and should try again at step 1).

Thanks again for the help, I, as a terminal dummy, really appreciate the time you took to walk me through.

Could you look at the changes I've made here:

and verify their accuracy and helpfulness, s.v.p.?
henrypretz:
1. Download e200rpatcher.mac
2. Run the e200rpatcher.mac file and follow the prompts. If it reports an error writing data, run e200rpatcher.mac again (sometimes it will take a few tries before it will work). If the file is not executed properly (i.e. another program tries to open it), you must make it an executable via the Terminal window. In the Terminal move to the directory where you have placed the e200rpatcher.mac file and enter the command "chmod +x e200rpatcher.mac", and then run it again by either typing "./e200rpatcher.mac" or dragging the icon into the Terminal window.
3. If it says "Firmware Unlocked, Proceed to Step 2" then it was successful and you can continue.
The file downloaded as a "MacPaint" file. When I simply clicked on it it opened in QuickTime. That got me nowhere. So, in Terminal I had to (per BigBambi's great instructions) change directory " cd desktop ", then make the file executable "chmod +x e200rpatcher.mac" . Then when I dragged the file to the Terminal window and hit return it opened (and I ;D)
In your instructions, the "run the e200rpatcher.mac file and follow the prompts" was a non starter. It would not run until I went through the Terminal process. So, perhaps just starting with the "make it executable in the Terminal window" part might be the best?
I hope that this helped
Here is what the window looked like
