Try the information HERE

Did you try any Internet searches?

[#groff -Tascii -man yakub]

i think you already no this
     when you are using "operating system" shell will take it as different words
so type

1.               vi  "operating \system "


"operating \system"====>>>seems to be one word to the shell
(*if it is a command you must include the path i.e., your current command path must be included in the $PATH *)


try

[#groff -Tascii -man yakub]

what do u mean by
       $operating sytem ls -l new.file

[Aegis]

He's trying to list the file with the  ls -l command to see if the file was created.

Are you trying to tell him to use the vi editor to create the file?

[#groff -Tascii -man yakub]

 I AM trying to ask is why he use "operating system "before ls -l

[Aegis]

Yes -- I see it now!  I missed it before.

I never thought about using vi -- I guess it would work that way, too!

$ touch operating_system
