Hi sorry its taken me so long to get back to you, not been too good here.

Have been going through things, its slow, and I'm stuck.

I have actually been going through that book, I think it was Lucy on 
here that posted about it a while back, I have been finding it really 
useful.

I have been able to get into the site find my way around, and get right 
into files, using nano, but I am pooping myself, trying to edit them. 
Took me a while cause I kept on going to a certain folder, but not 
giving the correct commands after that, and being told all the time that 
the folders I'm looking at arent there. Hope that makes sense. I wasnt 
looking at what was just before the $ and once I realised that, I found 
it made sense and I could navigate further in. The other things was, I 
am not used to how the Directory is, as I'm used to public_html tree, 
and its learning that as well, that has taken a while, but having the 
tree open in Places has helped.

Now I can navigate straight to a Directory I want, as soon as I log in 
(this is both in Ubuntu and Putty if I'm in Windows). Its taken me a 
while and a lot of sweating just in case I mess things up.

I am in the process of learning the copy and remove commands just before 
I edit something in a file.

I am now finding it frustrating because I cant copy and paste from my 
desktop to the file plus saving what I have done, cant work that one out 
yet, its probably very simple, but I am trying. But at least I have got 
that far.

That is my update.

John.
