Try typing

man intro

on the command line. This should give you a baisc overview of the commands that you can use. This may not be available for you depending on your specs. (I'm assuming you don't have a login andme or password required or that you know these).

A few basics would be

pwd (tell me which directory I am in)
ls (list the files and directories in the current directory)
cd <dir name> (change to this diectory).
cd .. (change up one level.

All these are covered in the intro...so try this first.
