thanks, I tried did not work.
There folder is 5 deep in. is I know how to select a file name, how do I select a folder name so as not to screw up the name?
Type in the first command, leave a space after it, i.e. cd[space], and drag the folder into the Terminal window; Terminal will fill in the path on its own (without moving the folder). Hit return, type 2nd command
as is, hit return, type 3rd command
as is, hit return, post results.
Edit: You'll get something along these lines:
