Printing: Locating the file -- what directory it is in

Unix always assumes that the file you request is in the directory you are in at the time you made the request.

Not sure if you are in the correct directory?

• Type ls at the user prompt to discover what files are in the directory you are in.
  (For example, <>$ls)

If you are not in the correct directory:

• Type cd, space, then the name of the directory you wish to change to.
  (For example, <>$cd somestuff), OR
• Type the full pathname location of the file.
  (For example, <>$cd somestuff/morestuff)
