I am using Precise pangolin. As far as I know, commands like
cd..
or
cd-
are used to browse through folders in the terminal.
But whenever I enter one of this commands, it gives an error saying no such command or filename found. Do I have to perform any additional task before I use commands involving cd?

The ls (LiSt) lists files in different colors with full formatted text
Create Directories: mkdir (directory name)
The mkdir (MaKeDIRectory) command will create a directory.
