Hi,
Doing a simple command+c/command+v should do the trick in most circumstances. You were probably getting the command in there, but terminal had no output to give you. You can see output by interacting with the box below the close button, and using vo+up/down arrow to see lines. Once again, however, most terminal-based commands are probably working and just have nothing to tell you. Most commands, if successful, are silent and don't say whether they went through or not. To verify it actually went through, make sure that you see a prompt line after the command, for example your prompt will be the name of your Mac, followed by which working directory your in. The end of the prompt should have a dollar sign ($).
