== Practice navigating from the terminal ==
The filesystem on your computer is like a tree made up of folders (also called "directories") and files. The filesystem has a root directory called <tt>/</tt>, and everything on your computer lives in subdirectories of this root directory.
Line 12 ⟶ 16:
<code>cd</code> moves you into a new directory (it stands for "change directory").
<b>Let's practice using these commands
===Open a command prompt:===
* On Windows Vista or Windows 7: click on the Start menu (the Windows logo in the lower left of the screen), type <code>cmd</code> into the Search field directly above the Start menu button, and click on "cmd" in the search results above the Search field.
* On Windows XP: click on the Start menu (the Windows logo in the lower left of the screen), click on "Run...", type <code>cmd</code> into the text box, and hit enter.
Line 75 ⟶ 80:
You've practiced using <code>dir</code> and <code>cd</code> to navigate your computer's filesystem from the command prompt.
