Problem finding my folder via terminal

[Tamara Berger]

Hi Cameron,

I have to answer you via email because I haven't gotten the hang of
the inline style yet. Here is the result of your suggestion:

192:~ TamaraB$ cd Desktop/mymodules/
192:mymodules TamaraB$ ls -laR /Users/TamaraB/Desktop/mymodules
total 16
drwxr-xr-x   4 TamaraB  staff   136 Jun  7 01:32 .
drwx------+ 37 TamaraB  staff  1258 Jun  8 22:30 ..

drwxr-xr-x   5 TamaraB  staff   170 Jun  7 01:32 mymodules

/Users/TamaraB/Desktop/mymodules/mymodules:

drwxr-xr-x  5 TamaraB  staff  170 Jun  7 01:32 .

-rw-r--r--@ 1 TamaraB  staff  166 Jun  5 10:01 vsearch.py
192:mymodules TamaraB$

(When I copied the coding into the email, I got a line of space
between each line of coding, and had to delete the extra lines one by
one? Any way to do this job nonmanually or to transfer the coding into
an email without the extra lines of space?)

Thanks for all your help.

Tamara
