Or, in SunOS 4.0 and very likely AT&T SVR4,

	crontab -e username

will do what you want.  It will bring up an editor, let you make changes,
verify the changes for correctness, and re-submit the file to cron.  None
of that `su user' hassle that SV systems make you go through.  There's even

	crontab -l username

if you like doing it the old way....
