The purpose of this homework is to give you a chance to focus your knowledge of UNIX Chapter 4.
Do problems 4.1-8, 11-14.
To hand this in, make sure you script your experiments. (But avoid scripting a vi session. [You may want to try this to see why I say not to, but make it a short session.] You can avoid this by simply having multiple terminal windows open: script in one and vi in another.)
This assignment is (Level 2.5).
Add (Level 1.5) to do problems 4.9 & 10. Please also explain how you created the file -x in the first place. Can you create a file with a / in its name at all? Tip: Many special characters are automatically escaped in modern *nix systems (like Linux) when filename completion is invoked. This most notably includes spaces, but also some others.
