[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 630008, member: 51052"] Keep in mind you don't actually have to type all that either. OS X, like many other *nix OS's has tab completion. So for example in the above commands I'd type /Us (hit tab, so it'll now say) /Users/ (then type) Frank (hit tab) /Users/Frank\ Sinatra/my (tab) etc it will continue to build the command structure for you. I hope that made some sense, if not... try hitting the tab key while you're typing out your file path and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
