... and a small typographical, remove / before -      . then the first one is correct.  Notice $home is a representation to "/home/richard" not literally "/home". So if i used $home in my terminal it would represent "/home/anthony".


i am stuggling with trying to use this  terminal i have d/loaded a theme from gnome-look.org called slicknesS-black
extracted it to the desktop and then proceed to the teminal
