I asked the author of SSHelper, but got the rather bizarre reply
that I didn't need to turn it on, as I am the only user.
Unfortunately he did not say how to use the Terminal facility
in SSHelper, which does not allow input after the above warning.

But I have no problem editing files on the phone
after ssh-ing in from my laptop,
so I don't think there can be any permissions problem.
I just don't have any way of doing this directly on the phone.
I don't even have any way of reading text files on the phone.
