Create a subdirectory named "assignments" in your home directory. (Home directories and other concepts relating to Unix's file system are discussed elsewhere; for now just follow the instructions given whether you fully understand them or not.) Do it by issuing the following commands, in the following sequence (press the enter key after typing each of the commands):
cd
mkdir assignments
The intended purpose of this subdirectory is to serve as the repository of homework I will ask you to turn in. Homework will take the form of a file. I will want to receive it. You will drop it off for me, into your "assignments" subdirectory, and that's where I will look for it.
