Dos-Man,

I don't understand why you are having so much difficulty.   Simply install
the *Linux Midnight Commander* - sudo apt-get install mc.  Midnight
Commander works almost identical to the old DOS Norton Commander.  Given
your DOS heritage, this should be a breeze for you..

Again, to install MC, run the following command:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mc

You can download the User Manual at

Another tip:

You could consider  placing aliases  in your ~/.bashrc file  for  commands
that you use frequently.  Aliases are life-savers  when working at the Linux
command line.  For more details, see
http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l6/lesson6a.html

Also get familar with the *history* command.  It's DOSKEY on steroids.
