accessing files

Asked by Herb Coddington

One of the help pages says to "type the following llines", but does not say where to type them. Basically, I was trying to learn how to access files that have been stored on my hard drives using Windows XP.

The terminal (Ubuntu analogous of DOS prompt) is accessible form menu Applications->Accessories.

You can use 'vi filename' (or 'sudo vi filename' when root permissions are required) for editing files.

If you don't want to learn vi then use gedit instead. 'gedit filename' (or 'gksudo gedit filename')

Can you help with this problem?
