Hmmm... typing "pwd" will show the current directory.  The "$" is the
command prompt, it is not part of the command.

So, for instance you type...

pwd

and it says "/home/jakewc2"

you then type "ls"

and it says

fred
george
bob
install.txt

Now, if you want to get to the files in "george" you simply type "cd
george" and then "ls" and you find out what's in george.

To go back up again type "cd .." (.. means the level higher than you
are at present)

"ls -F | grep /" is a good command too, as it only shows the
directories and leaves out the files.
