To navigate through multiple levels of directories at once, specify the full directory path that you want to go to. For example, type: <screen>cd /var/www</screen> to go directly to the <filename class="directory">/www</filename> subdirectory of <filename class="directory">/var/</filename>. As another example, type: <screen>cd ~/Desktop</screen> to move you to the <filename class="directory">Desktop</filename> subdirectory inside your home directory.

Virtually all commands understand the <emphasis role="strong">-h</emphasis> (or <emphasis role="strong">--help</emphasis>) option which will produce a short usage description of the command and it's options, then exit back to the command prompt. Type <screen>man -h</screen> or <screen>man --help</screen> to see this in action.

<screen>man intro</screen> is especially useful - it displays the "Introduction to user commands" which is a well-written, fairly brief introduction to the Linux command line.

There are also <command>info</command> pages, which are generally more in-depth than <command>man</command> pages. Try <screen>info info</screen> for the introduction to info pages.

You might be wondering why the text you've copied from a web page using <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>C</keycap></keycombo> won't paste in with <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>V</keycap></keycombo>, the shell uses a different combination for paste <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Insert</keycap></keycombo>. This can also be done using the mouse, by right-clicking in the terminal and clicking <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menu.
