[colug-432] Looking for a Linux-based time-keeping application

[Steve VanSlyck]

No offense taken and you are quite correct. I just want some training 
wheels. I don't wear them long but

ls /?

brings up page after page after page of stuff and it'll take me an hour to 
figure out how to do

dir /s -shra

just to find one little file to get beyond the problem of the moment.

For CD\ I'm frustrated because I'm in my home directory and

cd ../../System/Settings

doesn't take me to

/System/Settings

Instead I have to

cd ..
cd ..
cd /System/Settings (or maybe it was cd System/Settings

It's real basic syntax that needs to be releared but in the nonce I want to 
get schtuff done.........

> I'm truly not trying to be a linux "snob" or whatever, but you're much 
better off imho learning the *NIX version of the commands.  You can put 
an alias file on your system, but you're going to end up teaching 
yourself for example, the command "dir" instead of ls, which will make it 
harder to actually learn the right commands....
