[Vimperator] Vimperator: .vimperator for Mac

After successfully installing a .vimperatorrc on my Vista laptop, I am now
trying to set up a friend with Vimperator on an Mac.  Again, I cannot get
Vimperator to read the _vimperatorrc file which I have saved as a text file
with the name _vimperatorrc (.vimperatorrc becomes a system file and I am
not sure how to access system files on the Mac when they disappear so I am
avoiding the dot version for now).  OSX appends the .txt extension to
_vimperatorrc and while I can hide the extension, I don't think I am getting
rid of it all together.  I spoke to a Mac Genius and he said that was the
way Mac does things so this may be normal for OSX and the problem may be
elsewhere.  I have saved the file using Finder and clicking on the picture
of a house which is what I understand is the home directory.  Is there
anyone out there familiar with OSX or Macs in general who might know what is
going on.  I was thinking of going to the shell and trying to rename the
file from there but I'm not familiar with OSX and how this might be done.
Thanks for any assistance.
