Thanks guys.  I finally did find a way to do it, but had to do a search 
with different key word(s).

sudo adduser username dialout

That did the trick.  It's that old adage, "if you don't use it, you lose 
it".  I have gotten quite rusty with my linux because I seldom use it.  
I was helping another local ham install Linux Mint on his PC, then 
xastir for setting up an iGate.  I could open the ttyS0 with minicom, 
but not xastir.  I knew it was a permissions problem, but....  memory 
(or lack thereof)...  lol
