5. At the command prompt, type mv sample4 mysamples and press Enter. Next, type ls -F at the command prompt and press Enter. How many files are there and what are their names? Where did sample4 go?

6. At the command prompt, type cd mysamples and press Enter. Next, type ls -F at the command prompt and press Enter. Notice that the sample4 file you moved in Step 5 was moved here.
