Case matters in UNIX-type operating systems, even if you're
browsing a filesystem created by windows. A filename with
capital letters in the filesystem hierarchy must be specified
with capital letters (and spaces must be handled somehow).
To change to a directory called 'Program Files', I would type:
cd Program\ Files
or
cd 'Program Files'
Filename completion makes things easier. If you type "cd Pro<tab>"
(use the tab key), the rest of the filename should be completed
for you (unless something else starts with Pro). This works in
bash, and maybe tcsh also.
