Is there a book or something where you can learn how to use the Terminal

I hope you took some Gatorade after this, it must have been very hard
hitting on the keyboard.

It did not take a Nobel prize winner to understand the meaning of the
question.
Would you prefer a lengthier "War and Peace" type of question? Next time
I'll see what I can do..

Good engineers do that.

Excellent engineers hear the real questions or ask for clarification.

i do have to correct  myself... I'm sure that Allan might be a good or 
excellent engineer and Butkus is somewhat or something that his name 
implies. ;-p

For the record, I took your initial response to be flippant, mildly 
humorous, and something I would be tempted to do. Probably have 
done, in fact.

I doubt it's the engineer in you. Many engineers understand that a 
question needs interpreting, sentences do not mean things in 
themselves out of context of human users. Perhaps it's more the 
autistic in you.

Just so you understand all the very brief responses that have already 
started, the Terminal is the application that gives you access to the 
Unix underpinnings of MacOS. If you already know about the UNIX bash 
shell or have books on it, that would be a good place to start.  There 
are MacOS specific things that you have to learn, much as if you change 
from one flavor of UNIX to another (e.g. Solaris to AIX or Ubuntu to 
RedHat).

You've essentially asked "Is there a place I can learn what's going on 
under the hood of my car?"  There's lots going on under the hood and 
many many books explaining the various parts and subsystems of the 
mechanics of the internal combustion engine to the Haines Guide for your 
particular make and model of car.

The question is "Are you sure you want to do that?"

If you have little or no computing background, it is probably a Bad 
Idea(tm).  If you are already know about computers and operating 
systems, then go to the O'Reilley site and wander through their MacOS 
books.  Or find another vendor who's books you like.  I prefer 
O'Reilley. Your mileage may vary.

While you won't break much by messing with the command-line in the 
Terminal, you may inadvertently break something by deleting stuff you 
didn't intend to.  If you decide to futz around with Terminal, make sure 
you have a Time Capsule setup and taking hourly backups.  Otherwise, 
expect to loose stuff as you shoot yourself in the foot.

it's *easy* to break things with the wrong command or even just a typo,
without deleting anything at all.
