	You can think of the shell as a really fucked up Start Menu. You can type the name of a program at the prompt and press enter, and the shell will attempt to locate and run it. Everything you type after the name of the program is an "argument", which you can use to tell the program what you want it to do. Take this command for example:		You can think of the shell as a really fucked up Start Menu.

Everything you type after the name of the program is an "argument", which you can use to tell the program what you want it to do. Take this command for example:
	mkdir my_folder		mkdir my_folder
	This uses <code>mkdir</code> (short for "Make Directory" ("directory" is another word for "folder")) to create a folder called <code>my_folder</code>. In this example, <code>mkdir</code> is the name of the program and <code>my_folder</code> is the single argument.
