"./" before a filename means "use the current directory as the relative path for the filename". So if your 'pwd' is: /export/home/rmaclemale/cgi-bin and you type on the command line: ./somescript.mt the OS will look for (and try to execute) a file named: /export/home/rmaclemale/cgi-bin/somescript.mt Similarly, "../" means "use the 'parent' directory of the current directory (the next directory up) as the relative path..." Since you're a self-proclaimed Unix newbie, I'll venture one more thing: I don't know specifically about your system, but Unix normally has a built-in technical "manual" (aka "man pages") that you can use to learn what a command means. So if you type this on a command line: man pwd You'll be shown the 'man page' describing the 'pwd' command.
