<h1>UNIX Tutorial </h1>
<h2>Typographical conventions </h2>
<p> In what follows, we shall use the following typographical conventions: </p>
<ul>
  <li> Characters written in <code>bold typewriter font</code> are commands to 
    be typed into the computer as they stand.</li>
  <li> Characters written in <code><var>italic typewriter font</var></code> indicate 
    non-specific file or directory names. </li>
  <li> Words inserted within square brackets <code>[Ctrl]</code> indicate keys 
    to be pressed. </li>
</ul>
<p>So, for example, </p>
<p class="command"> % ls <var>anydirectory</var> [Enter] </p>
<p>means &quot;at the UNIX prompt %, type ls followed by the name of some directory, 
  then press the key marked Enter&quot; </p>
<p> Don't forget to press the [Enter] key: commands are not sent to the computer 
  until this is done. </p>
<p class="hint">Note: UNIX is case-sensitve, so LS is not the same as ls. <br />
  <br />
  The same applies to filenames, so myfile.txt, MyFile.txt and MYFILE.TXT are 
  three seperate files. Beware if copying files to a PC, since DOS and Windows 
  do not make this distinction.</p>
