where do I find the page ending with/STORE /index.php?main_page=checkout_payment

I am using 1.3.9g and paypal ipn payment method and I wanted to edit the text next to the paypal button at the bottom, so it reads that I accept most major credit cards, because when you go pay and it takes you to the paypal log in, people are not seeing the small box under the log in that lets non paypal people pay with a credit card, and they think they need a paypal account, and leave. I looked in my control panel under STORE/index.php but it was not there? Or is that something I can't do?

it is /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php

Which you make a copy of for your template

Might be better to use the developers tool kit and search for

Checkout with PayPal

and add to it

Ri,
includes, templates/ your_template/ templates/ tpl_checkout_payment_default.php

Actually, there are two files where you can change this text, depending on which PP product you are using.

/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php

Line #20 :
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_MARK_BUTTON_ALT', 'Checkout with PayPal');

/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

Line #25 :
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TEXT_EC_HEADER', 'Fast, Secure Checkout with PayPal:');

Line #87 :
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_MARK_BUTTON_TXT', 'Checkout with PayPal. The safer, easier way to pay.');

Edit the red text as desired; leave the rest as is. The first file will be the one for you to edit.

Um ... you wrote that as though it's fact. But, you seem to be projecting your thoughts on your users.

If a customer has NOT used PayPal before, and does NOT have a PayPal account, then they won't have a PayPal cookie on their computer, and thus when they get to the PayPal "login" screen that you're talking about, they will NOT see just a "login" prompt as you described. They will ALSO see a full set of fields for them to enter payment and address information without having to login or create an account.

Great that worked, now I hope the customers will look harder for the alternate payment option under the paypal log in. Thanks again!:D

What I was telling you was that they won't have to look for anything ... because it won't be hidden if they've never used PayPal before anyway.
