[Tutor] i just cant do it

[Ivan Shevanski]

(if I'm getting this right)
Think of it as saving file 'hello.txt' in /usr/bin/some_random_folder
_you_made
Then in the terminal, you try to open the file by typing 'gedit hello.txt'.
It has no idea where to look.

[I'm a noob too, so if I got it wrong don't flame me too bad ;)   ]
