Moving Information

All of these fancy directories are very nice, but they really don't help unless you have some place to store you data. The Unix Gods; saw this problem, and they fixed it by giving the users ``files''.; We will learn more about creating and editing files in the next few chapters.

;;; The primary commands for manipulating files under Unix are cp;, mv;, and rm;. Respectively, they stand for copy, move, and remove.
