Thanks Sonia & Mary

Yes I am an ex Windows user still struggling with the differences.

Here is the output of the commands:

Two other questions:

1. How do I direct my console output to the Clipboard so that I can forward it? Currently I do a cut & paste.

2. How do I print documentation like "Intro to Linux" which is in HTML format? At present using Firefox  I only get a small part of a page printed in the middle. I would really like to read some of this excellent documentation.
