Here is what it means. The prompt with its meaning below;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] kelvyn]$
[<user>@<machine name> <directory name>]$

This is the command prompt.

The equivalent in windows is the dos prompt.

Here are some commands and their dos equivalents;

ls      dir
cat     type
rm      del
cd      cd
more    more
cp      copy
man <command>   <command> /?

Hope that helps.

Cheers Ross Drummond
