So I'm trying to do Lab 1 right now, and for that I'm doing the prerequisite tasks with the Unix OS. I'm at the part where it says to save the document to my home directory. When I try to call for it, it says it doesn't exist or there's no filename. I don't know if this helps but when I do - prompt> ls; - it just previews - cits2002; which is the file I created, and no Desktop, Downloads, or any of that is ever seen. Considering I need to get through this step to proceed with any other parts of the lab, help is greatly appreciated.

It seems that you're unsure where you're working.

If you are naming and using files by just providing their filename, without any leading pathname, you'll need those files to be in your current working directory. When you download a file using your browser, it'll be placed in the browser's default location (directory), but you can change this (usually through the right mouse button) with 'Save As...' Set that location to your shell's working location, and then use ls to ensure that your required file has been downloaded there.
