In the question above i was trying to pose an example. I don't know how effective I was in doing so... I just want to understand how there can be what appear to be "hidden" files that exist. Are they in fact hidden? Or are they attributes of a program? How does one access all the .files?



Any information would be enlightening.
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure what you are asking exactly.



Hidden



A files or directories are "hidden" if they start with a ".".



On the command line you can view them with ls -A and from nautilus (your file browser) by showing hidden files Ctl + H or from the menu



enter image description here



Path



Your path is where the system looks to find commands.



echo $PATH


You can set a path , typically in ~/.bashrc



PATH=$PATH:/additional/directory
