How To Use Unix

Might I suggest that as you read this file, you log in, so that you can try things out as I explain them.

Once you've done that, what you'll see is a prompt which looks like this.

MINDS>

When you type commands they'll come up after it, like this.

MINDS> exit

Typing exit after the prompt and hitting return will cut off your connection to MINDS>, so you don't want to do that yet. (Hopefully :) )
