Hello John!

Waht you describe is hard to believe, seems that you are doing something
fundamentally wrong. It'd have been useful if you'd given error messages and
what you typed, so that we don't have to guess what is happenening.

The commands are as follows:

"cd" change directory
"ls" list directory
"cat <file>" show a file contents (without paging)
...

Let us know what youa re typing, and what the error message is, so we may be
of help.

Thank you,
Marcus
