more questions froma a dummy

thanks all fro your help on my last question my Unix class is officially my least favorite Smilie as I am not sure I will ever get it Smilie Smilie . okay so I have a couple more these may seem basic but I had never heard of UNIX untill last week when classes started. first of what does the tty, tput and echo $$ commands do? I have used them I just don't know exactly what I am looking at. here is the last question in the book that has me totally lost as I have read chapter 1 5 times now and cannot find it anywhere. What is one thing common to directories, devices, and printers? thanks for helping to stop me from being completely overwhelmed by this class. Smilie
