Do I just enter that in straight to the terminal? I saw something that looked like that on a wiki, but i thought I had to enter that into some text file and I was confused about that. I'll try it.

Yes, you have to execute the commands in your terminal.
Optionally, you can run them from a script at startup.
Be sure to read the wiki.

You can also turn dpms off for all users in xorg.conf(.d)

o.o I'm not exacly sure what DPMS is, do you think you can explain that to me? Either way I made a start up script and I accidently left my laptop on for several hours without touching it, and I noticed the screen was still on! Which means it worked! haha Thank You all!
