--My current working directory is not what I have been trying to cd to, so I'm assuming that I am using the cd command wrong. 

I have tried:

$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python\2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido
$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python\2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido/hello.py
$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python 2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido/hello.py
