[byers@byers /]$

I dont grok the 5 levels of ../  in this link

it seem to me i am asking for info on a  file(a link) X
2 levels below /    so  i would expect  2 levels of ../
1st ../ would take me back up from X11 dir to etc dir
2d  ../ would take me back up from etc dir to /

can anyone clear up the ../ dots  I am seeing?

thanks
Jack
