Thanks for the advice JWAIT, i have now edited the template but i am unsure as to how to find the txt_welcome file with my FTPEditor, all that i can find is the welcome_tpl not the txt_welcome file.
I have found the txt_welcome file in languages in admin but this does not allow me to rename a copy of the original before i replace with the edited file,
is it possible to see this file in my FTPEditor if so how and how do i clear the template catche as per your quote below.

"One thing I usually do is rename the file I am replacing to filename.tpl-old and upload the new one using FTP. That way if you have a problem you can just rename the old one back like it was and the problem will be gone, once you clear the template cache."
