Command line question.

I want to make sure: how should I interpret "$ concord verne.txt"?

  "$ " is the system prompt. Your prompt may not be the same as this one. You
  can figure out what your prompt is by pressing return (or enter) a few times.
  Whatever gets printed out after each return is your prompt.

  "concord" is the command; the name of the program you're running. You may
  have to type "./concord" if you get a "command not found" error and you're in
  the same directory as concord.

  "verne.txt" is the filename.

  As always, double quotes should be removed from any examples of things you
  type.
