so your saying that if i type cd MyDocs (hit enter)

thats me done?

hitting tab didnt do anything but bring up a long list of strange words

also tried copy/pasting this again
~/MyDocs$ tar -xzvf wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz
and hitting 'tab'

still nothing happened

also tried not putting ~/MyDocs$ in front of the file name but when i hit enter it just says cannot change ownership to uid 1000 lots of times, then it scrolls lots of similar lines for a while, then it says 'exiting due to previous errors'
good lord no
"~/MyDocs$"
that is what your prompt should look like
it means be in that folder
~ is home folder
so first go to the right place
type "tar -xzvf wl" NOW HIT TAB
OMG MAGIC
(it should have filled in the rest of the name)
press enter
