In Week 2 (week02notes.txt) you read most of Chapter 4 and some notes
posted to the Notes area of the course home page.

You now know the basic usage of these Unix/Linux commands:

   bash passwd pwd cd mkdir rmdir rm ls
   vim cat more less man echo cp stty

You are now familiar with Unix directory structure, especially the use
of ".." (dot dot) to move up in the file system tree.  You can tell a
relative pathname from an absolute pathname.

You received Exercise #2 and submitted it by the due date.

This Week (Week 3)
------------------

1.  Do these readings in Running Linux, Chapter 4:

       "Moving Around Among Commands" p.92
         (Note: to enable vi-mode in bash, use: set -o vi
	  but be aware that ^L will stop working if you do)
       "Filename Expansion" p.92
       "Saving Your Output" p.93 [assigned last week]
       "What is a Command" p.96  [assigned last week]
       "Putting a Command in the Background" p.98
       "Manual Pages" p.98 [assigned last week]

    You can practice the given examples using a terminal window under

    $ echo *
    $ echo /shome/alle*
    $ echo /bin/[A-Z]*
    $ echo one two three | wc
    $ cp source destination
    $ man -k file | grep '(1)'
