Thanks to both of you! I found it. I found a crontab in '/var/cron/tabs/' named after my user name.

Just so I am perfectly clear, if I edit this crontab using the following command in the Terminal:
$ sudo pico /var/cron/tabs/[crontab-name]
...I won't have to change the owner to root and the group to wheel in the Finder. Correct?

Honestly, I use CronniX to edit my crontab files, but I wanted to know how to do it from the Terminal, so this is more of a learning excercise.

Thanks again!
