How to display a warning message?

Hello,

I am teaching myself shell scripting and I was wondering if there was a way to rename a file and display a warning or prompt message? And if you had a file like
/home/me/blah/ for example, what are the ways to use the CD to get to /me?
Would it be ../home/me? Are there other ways to using CD to move to different directories?

Thanks!
