Not sure what to do
Am I just supposed to type those lines into the shell prompt as you put them? (the first reply)
Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but if I put the first line in and hit enter, I get a > and then if I put the rest of the lines in and then hit enter, it pauses, then gives me the prompt back. Then when I check one of the files, the string is still there. I must be doing something wrong.
