Hi.

Thank you. that gave me an idea of how to work the terminal. Do you have any 
command list, that could be usefull. I have never thought before that I can use 
this terminal for anything at all, but I am beginning to discover, that it 
would be helpful to know something about it.

Best regards Annie.
