The purpose of this presentation is to give a quick introduction to the command line computing environment.

ECHO(1) BSD General Commands Manual ECHO(1)
NAME
echo -- write arguments to the standard output
SYNOPSIS
echo [-n] [string ...]
DESCRIPTION
The echo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank
(` ') characters and followed by a newline (`\n') character, to the stan-
dard output.
The following option is available:
-n Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be
achieved by appending `\c' to the end of the string, as is done by
iBCS2 compatible systems. Note that this option as well as the
effect of `\c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
(``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002. Applications aiming for
maximum portability are strongly encouraged to use printf(1) to
suppress the newline character.
Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or iden-
tical to this utility. Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does not
accept the -n option. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
EXIT STATUS
The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
builtin(1), csh(1), printf(1), sh(1)
STANDARDS
The echo utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as
amended by Cor. 1-2002.

Some times you have to carryout a task that is repetitive, with a slight tweak for each iteration. The for loop is great for this.
for i in {<list of variables>}; do
<commands>
done
for i in { 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 }; do
touch subject_${i}.txt
done
[EyeMac: ~]ls

These slides will give a basic introduction to command line computing and a few of the commands used for navigation, as well as a simplified for loop.
