1st I can only copy command but cannot paste in Terminal as suggested.
2nd Input only accepts USA layout not UK i.e. when I type " then @ appears
3rd When I manually type ( sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6"dpkg -configure -a ) I get an error message it does not understand -o request not -a that I entered
Looked at chroot --help but could not find (dpkg -configure -a ) argument

I see you come from linux.org where they suggest to use boot-repair instead of own tools for repairing Grub (I guess).
You can check if you can copy and paste in Rescatux 0.32 beta 1. I will probably check that the default terminal can be used to paste text in it. That way boot-repair not will only be functional by itself but also when the user is supposed to write commands manually.
About the commands usually you enter the chroot with:
chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda6
and then your run whatever you want to, e.g.:
dpkg --configure -a
and finally you exit the chroot
exit
.
Anyway depending on your problem try the default options for fixing grub and see what it does.
