*Smacks forehead*

The Solaris man page I linked to wasn't a clue?  You couldn't say "I'm 
running Windows not Solaris?"

OK, if you're new, it's easy to not understand there's a difference, but 
jeeze folks, give us something to work with here.  Anytime you're 
running from the command line, please provide the *exact* output (and 
input) so we can see it, including directory listings and command 
prompts.  You're just shorting yourself if you don't.

It's even easier to do that retyping everything, like you did.  Just ... 
wow.  Please, make it easy on you and us, show us the whole thing, not 
some carefully elided example that removes the actual information we need.
