Hmmm... typing "pwd" will show the current directory. The "$" is the command prompt, it is not part of the command. So, for instance you type... pwd and it says "/home/jakewc2" you then type "ls" and it says fred george bob install.txt Now, if you want to get to the files in "george" you simply type "cd george" and then "ls" and you find out what's in george. To go back up again type "cd .." (.. means the level higher than you are at present) "ls -F | grep /" is a good command too, as it only shows the directories and leaves out the files.
