I tried all the other suggestions that y'all posted with no success. Then...
I started thinking outside the box and this is how I solved the problem (for future generations, lol!):
I created a new subdomain in my hosting account (free) and did a fresh install of Vanilla.
From the new subdomain vanilla files I pulled out default.master.tpl, opened it in Sublime (thanks vrijvlinder), made the edits I wanted (commented out the Inbox and Activity links), and replaced the broken file in my original forum with the new one.
Problem solved!
You guys all rock, thank you so much for your help.

Apparently my OS is too old (10.6.8) to retrieve the file from github and replace it on my forum. Hey, thanks anyway guys for trying to help.
No, I'd say, you are to new to computers
By the way: it is a bad idea to modify any of the core files. Copy the bittersweet theme folder to "YourOwnThemeName" and work with that copy. Rename class.bittersweetthemehooks.php to class.yourownthemenamethemehooks.php and change the contents of about.php accordingly

I'm like R_J I use no editor on core files. Its bad for your health.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
When I did my dev primarily on OSX, I used Smultron (http://sourceforge.net/projects/smultron/) for my text editor.
Ain't no IDE, but it worked pretty well. Oh, and it is open source, which is always a plus in my book.
