(As I have yet to find the equivalent to the DOS cd and dir command.) dos' cd is a copy of the unix cd used by linux. Just make sure that your slashes go the right way / rather than the dos way \. dir takes three letters to accomplish "ls". Never trust a command that can't be typed in two letters . . . most commands have a man page entry; just type "man commandnamee" and some useful info. Also, the info command applies to lots of commands; the GNU folks dislike man and generally use this more awkward method. rick
