Good. Thanks. Interesting that ls and pwd are used for Win, but that's fine. How do I copy parts of the window? All I can do at the moment is sweep out a rectangular area with the mouse. It looks like I underestimated the need for automagic.

Depends on whether "automagic" is enabled or not. If automagic is OFF, you need to enter the %, as in %cd. If automagic is ON (the default), then you don't need to enter the %, as in cd.
automagic can be toggled on and off as follows:
In [8]: automagic
Automagic is OFF, % prefix IS needed for magic functions.
In [9]: %automagic
Automagic is ON, % prefix NOT needed for magic functions.
On my mac, I can change to my "home" directory as follows:
In [10]: cd
/Users/darnoldI can list the files in this directory with:
In [11]: ls
Desktop/ Movies/ context/
Documents/ Music/ java.log.344
Downloads/ NetBeansProjects/ java.log.415
Dropbox/ Pictures/ luatex-cache/
Library/ Public/ matlab_crash_dump.344
LizThesis/ Sites/ matlab_crash_dump.415I can cd into my Sites folder with:
In [12]: cd Sites
/Users/darnold/SitesI can get the current directory with:
In [13]: pwd
Out[13]: '/Users/darnold/Sites'I can move up a directory level with:
In [14]: cd ..
/Users/darnoldHope this helps.

I've seen the tutorial, but need something more. How do I know what
folder I'm in? How do I move from where I am to, for example,
C:\abc\def? So far I've tried various combinations like this:cd ..
cd C:\
pwd (yes, I know it's not windows)I tried %cd .., and that may have moved me but I seem to get back to the
same place.I seem to be in C:\Documents and Settings\administrator. If I doa %cp
..\\ it looks like I get to C:\, but follwing that with pwd gets me back
to where I started--C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.If I want to execute a program with %run, I need to be where abc.py is
or, perhaps say something like %run C:\myPyPrograms\abc.py.
Dir doesn't work and I haven't been able to even see what's in the folder.--
