Hello Dave, When I originally typed "strings" it was in all lower case. I looked for "strings" in the 26 1/4 pages of program files in usr/bin and did not find it there, although I did find another program called less, which I did not have in /bin.
Now that I know I have 26 1/4 pages of programs in /usr/bin in addition to the 2 pages of instructions in /bin , could you please tell me how to access the programs in /usr/bin?
