Unix Commands

In Unix, sometimes there will be a lot of information to display. If this is the case, then the system may only show a percentage of the information, which they show you at the bottom next to "more." If you want to see all of the data, than all you need to do is click the spacebar. The Windows counterpart to this is the "Page Dn" and "Page Up" buttons. You can also use "Home" and "End". Also, I just realized this: in Windows pressing the spacebar scrolls down as well.

The Unix command to remove a file is "rm." The Windows command parallel to this is the "Delete" button, which sends the selected file(s) to the Recycle Bin.

To make a directory in Unix, use the command "mkdir" followed by what you want the directory to be named. In Windows you can make new folders in a drive by opening a particular drive or folder and use the command "Ctrl+N," which stands for "New." You can then edit the name of the new folder.

To logout of Unix, we use the command "exit." To logout of Windows, click "Start," then "Log Off." You can then choose if you want to switch users (if there is more then one account on the system), or you can completely log out.
