How to edit .htaccess file?

[ssbismark]

hello there,
i have this problem for a long time now with my prestashop,i have two homepage displays where as
http://www.mydomain.com would not point to my edited/configured english home texts,it simply points
to those latin dummy ps default home texts,but only this url http://www.mydomain.com/pretashop points
to my home english home texts,which are the ones i want to display on my site,but when people go to my
site with my site name http://www.mydomain.com it displays these latin words which are annoying me.
i have contacted with my server and they said maybe the solution is to edit my .htaccess file so that my site
homepage will be redirected to a subdirectory i.e http://www.mydomain.com/prestashop......i am new with
these things and i don't know how to do this,they gave me an article here how to do this please check it

Open a cpanel then open folder where you can get a htaccess file. Download it then edit via note pad.
