Found another newbie error, don't try to edit the status file in the /www/cgi-bin directory. 
I, using smarTTY copied this status file to my PC, edited it with notepad (I did something simple, adding <body bgcolor="#EED598"> to change the background color. Wanted to customize my node page 
Made a backup copy on the PC before, in case I mess it up. Put this edited file back in the node. Then got: 404 Not Found. Okay, put the backup in its place. No good, still 404 Not Found. 
Noticed, in smarTTY that the file is no longer highlighted in green font, now it's grey. I managed to hose the node 
The file gets munged somewhere between uploading and downloading...
Maybe I shoulda used vi in the node to add this <body bgcolor="#EED598"> or maybe I need to know what I'm doing 
However, I can, by typing cgi-bin/setup get to the setup page. And then to administration, and grab the bbhm 3.1.0 file and then reflash the node.
Of course I had to reconfigure everything, but at least I didn't brick the node...
You are here
newbie Lesson learned :-) duh...

Choose it in the "Select a Theme" dropdown on the status page.

boot up the node fully (about 2 mins)
press and hold the RESET button on the node (or on the PoE Adapter) for 15 seconds
Release and it will reboot back to the "pre-config state"
Have fun, experiment, put the hAM back in HAM radio!
