I am getting so frustrated.  It WILL NOT scroll down.  It WILL NOT scroll up 
past the existing print.  I don't know how to make it do that.  When it stops 
it makes a BOINK sound.  It will go no further.  All you see is all I am able 
to see.  Someone said something about adding a more or less command, I think; 
I haven't done that either , because I am not sure how.  I need to know what 
directory I do that from, and do I type in just 'more' or are there some '-' 
signs and 'letters'?  

Because I can not make happen what I am told to make happen, I have gotten so 
frustrated and confused that I almost have to start over at square one, and 
this time with baby food.  Additionally, the traditional little upright 
rectangle of white that represents the cursor is missing at the bottom of the 
document.  How do you get out of the document and back to a command position?

If I scroll up, I cannot get past what you can see that I have sent.  If I 
scroll down, I cannot get past what you see of what I sent you.  There is no 
command line cursor.  How do I get anything different on the screen, without 
just turning the shell off and reopening it?  

I am going to have to shut down for a bit; I am getting angina from the 
stress.  I have to lay down for a bit.
