This is a good time to step back from the terminal, and head to a
bookstore or library for either Mac OS X the Missing Manual and read
the Unix section or this other, excellent O'Reilly book:
Learning Unix for Mac OS X :<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ltigerunix/>
This is the Tiger edition, but editions exist for previous OS X systems.
There are also a lot of 'Unix for Beginners' stuff on the web, much
of it can be used in OS X.
Heres two links specific to OS X:
<http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/index.ws>
<http://www.chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/unix.html> Written by a
non-computer geek. However it IS written by a chemistry geek, so who
knows ;-)
Seriously. If you're stumbling on the command like that, you can do
damage to your system mucking about.
The terminal is a power tool; like other power tools, it can make
easy work of hard tasks, but it can also take off a hand or a leg if
you're not careful 8-)
