OK! That's the stuff! There is no info in my manual about these things, not 
one word. The authors ALL assumed that the guy who purchases this software 
knows about those type of commands. I only know DOS commands, I have NO CLUE 
as to what a Unix type OS uses at the command prompt and was given no list of 
commands to use. I think I need to find a book or something. Is there like a 
"Unix for Dummies" book out there?
