Dear Goh Lip,

I just opened the email you wrote the other day referring to the making of the 
Directory Repo.  After following the instructions that followed, when I hit 
enter the last time, I got pages and pages of data rolling down the screen.  
It has been going on continuously for several minutes now, and is still doing 
the work as I write.  Is this what is supposed to happen, or did I do 
something wrong?  There is so much data moving, it looks like data in a loup.  
I opened the Repo directory and see that there are many entries, but I don't 
know if what I am seeing on the shell is a scan taking place in a loup, 
repeating over and over, or just more data moving to where it belongs.

If I have properly completed the task of loading the information into the Repo 
Directory, I suppose I should copy Repo to CD, but if Repo is still being 
filled I must wait.  What do I do?  continue until the shell stops, or is it in 
a loup that will not end?
