Note:  This CD lecture has many items which do not relate to the new TCF course you are now in.   It is a course in construction as we move to a very different method for learn command-line.   Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Much will change on the webpage so look here often.   Once you have passed an item on the assignment sheet and new training appears you do not have to go back and do these items but you are wise  to do so!
