Finding out where you are

If you ever wonder where you are in the file hierarchy, use the pwd commmand to "print working directory."

For example, when in your home directory type pwd. You should see something like the following

[sparc03]...kaputnik>pwd
/afs/unity.ncsu.edu/users/k/kaputnik
[sparc03]...kaputnik>

This can be very helpful information when you "get lost" while using the directory shortcuts.
