I've tried reading my book and googling. I'm not sure how to even use the "env" command. Let's begin by explaining in layman's terms and perhaps an example. I'm sure if it's explained with something for me to look at, I'll have a better understanding of how to do this.
I actually don't want it done for me. I'm in an accelerated class right now where we don't get ANY explanation of anything. I appreciate the help already though.
EDIT:
Here, I tried this, but it gives me a syntax error.
Code:
pwd
var=$ ( pwd )
if var = $HOME
then
echo you are in the home directory
else
echo you are not in the home directory

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-L | -P]
DESCRIPTION
The pwd utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
Some shells may provide a builtin pwd command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
The options are as follows:
-L Display the logical current working directory.
-P Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
If no options are specified, the -L option is assumed.
ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables used by pwd:
PWD Logical current working directory.
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO builtin(1), cd(1), csh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)STANDARDS
The pwd utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster because it is built into that shell. However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell descended into it.
The -L option does not work unless the PWD environment variable is exported by the shell.
