Interrogator session



1) Go to the /cake directory.

     ^/ c a k e /

(The first ^/ goes to the root directory. Use cmd/ on Mac. Then you select cake by typing. The second / opens the cake directory.)


2) Select the file louis, use the standard Copy command to copy its name to the clipboard.

X11: l o ^C
Mac: l o cmdC

(Type just enough letters to pick louis out from the crowd.)




3) Go to the ireland directory and duplicate the file there.

X11: i r / altD shift^alt V
Mac: i r / ^D cmd^ V

( i r / opens the ireland directory.
alt D says to make a Duplicate instead of moving or linking or whatever.
On X11 the shift is optional on the V.)
