entering command in Terminal

[graylocks]

i'm trying to sync my Tiger copy of Textexpander to Dropbox. the directions entail entering this command in terminal:




i'm not Terminal savvy. do i start with the word 'In'? do i put in the rest spaced out like the image shows?

Yes, you start with the word ln. A single space between everything will do just fine. Don't forget the "\" before the space in the last filepath.

Whoever did example image should be less sloppy and get decent pictures of what it really looks like:



That is how it should look.

i actually took that as a Jing screenshot from the blog page the instructions were on. maybe it was spaced like that because of the limits of html? certainly is confusing for neophytes like me.

The better blogs use

 or  tags to display their command line commands.



ls -s ~/Dropbox/Library/TextExpander ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextExpander

And really good ones don't confuse ln with ls :-)
