Spaces in command are important
For instance
Code:
/home/Ccccc/Ch6/source/ Ch7

will access
/ main root directory, then the / to
home directory, then the / to
Ccccc directory, then the / to
Ch6 directory, then the / to
source directory, then the / to
Ch7 file
NOTE that extra space. Unusual, but not ungeard of, for a space to be embedded as the first character in a file.
