directory = what Windows & Mac people call a "folder"; i.e., a collection of files.
| Type this at the prompt: | in order to do this: |
|---|---|
| cd | change to your home directory |
| cd directory | change to the directory named directory |
| ls | list all files and subdirectories in the current directory |
| ls -F | list all files and subdirectories in the current
directory but mark the subdirectories with a slash (/) so that you can tell the difference between them and the files |
| pwd | print the current (or
"working") directory (so that you'll know where you are if you get lost changing directories) |
