This is generic unix, so it goes something like this: cd <dir> takes you to a directory. cp <source> <destination> copies a file from <source> to <destination> mv <source> <destination> does the same, but moves it. I recommend <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html>; ("UNIX Basics" in the handbook), and <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dirstructure.html>; in particular (tells you about the filesystem layout). --Mac On Tue, Jun 15, 2004 at 12:40:07PM -0600, Lloyd Hayes wrote: > I have the FreeBSD Handbook on a computer hard drive.
