Press Return > > 'copy any output after that and paste it into a reply.' what does this mean? It means that you drag your mouse over the output with the button held down so that the text is highlighted. Let go of the mouse and hold down the command-key while pressing C. Open a reply email, click in it, then hold down the command-key while pressing V. The text from Terminal that you highlighted will be copied into the email.
